First Year Seminar 191SBS06 - FYS-BuidlingSustComm/GroundUp

What really shapes the cities and towns we live in? By exploring the many social, aesthetic, community, and environmental perspectives on sustainability, we can learn to better understand the cities we live in and why they function the way that they do. The course will also help new students to define and explore pathways for their careers as UMass students in the College of Social & Behavioral Sciences. Students will become familiar with SBS basics, personal and academic skills, and available resources while also engaging with the many different elements of building a city from the ground up and the tools needed to make it representative, sustainable, and comprehensive.
