Environmental Studies Programs: Reflections and Resources: For Community Colleges, Technical Colleges & Further Education Programs

By Paul A. Elsner

Designed for use at community colleges, technical colleges and further education, worldwide, Paul Elsner addresses Environmental Studies Programs through his personal reflections and provides numerous resources that would help faculty, students, instructional designers, businesspersons, governmental officials, and other interested persons in creating these programs. Environmental Studies Programs are critically important to college students who will assume responsibilities for saving the world. The issue of global warming, water and the finite natural systems, will impact the students, their children and grandchildren. The effects of our decisions, our choices or preconceptions, and our tolerances and consent of unregulated free market enterprise as well as the outcomes of unexamined consequences of aggressive economic development are emphasized. Suggestions include action-oriented conferences, service learning, arts and humanities, and college-wide forums. He stresses the responsibility of faculty to assume a leadership role functioning as stewards, guides and the conceptual leaders in this effort.
