ADAPTATION & IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM

“The collaboration will foster greater knowledge of regional environmental issues among the students and faculty involved. The final portal will provide a useful resource for researchers on environmental issues. The interaction among providers of content (environmental students) and the web-based presenters of the content (AUK Media and IT students) will provide a template for future cross-disciplinary collaborations among RIT’s global campuses.”
