==== Sustainability Village ====
<div><br/></div></div><div>An innovative living-learning prototype for students, as well as academic coursework, service-learning activities and study abroad opportunities are all part of the University’s Sustainability Village. The program integrates academic coursework, research, service learning and experiential education opportunities to enhance student understanding of sustainable development, community food systems and alternative lifestyles that promote conservation. Community and aquaponic gardens also offer opportunities for students to engage in service learning and applied interdisciplinary research. The gardens aid in the University’s recycling and waste reduction efforts by employing composting and loop system strategies. Both gardens are part of Sustainability Village, which is designed to produce food for thought as students learn while living in a sustainable environment. Funded by The Duke Endowment and Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina as part of the College of Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, the village’s centerpiece will be a model home built to accommodate four students. It will serve as an affordable prototype that could be replicated in communities impacted by natural disasters such as in the earthquake-devasted areas in Haiti.</div><div><br/></div><div><br/></div>

== Student Priorites<br/> ==
<div>Our team of 2 was able to conduct a few projects for our university which focused on improving the life of student</div><div>engagement and professionalism for students. We listened to the voiced needs that students and peers have</div><div>expressed to us through interviews, and based on their concerns we produced buildups to fulfill these needs. One of</div><div>our projects, titled HUSTLE, which created an outlet for students to find creative ways to innovate, and start their</div><div>ideas. Innovation and technology was a department we decided to give focus to, so we created workshops to allow</div><div>students to network with peers and faculty to create airspaces for maybe the next Facebook or Uber to be created.</div><div>We also created school spirit workshops to allow for an increase in student engagement and involvement. Both were</div><div>successful and set strong footprints in two fields that we wanted to focus in, innovation and engagement.</div>
