Introduces first-year Yardi Scholars to fundamentals of environmental changemaking. Students first examine theories of change and environmental problem solving and then interact with guest speakers from different disciplines who all work to address the same environmental problem. Students gain a deeper understanding of approaches to changemaking; develop knowledge about problem-solving; and build skills in collaboration, critical thinking, and communication. Students also establish connections with fellow Yardi Scholars and the larger Yardi Environmental Justice Scholars community at UCSB.
