University Students, Faculty on a Mission to Protect Our Tomorrows

Thomas Jefferson University News Podcast

In previous episodes of the Nexus Podcast, experts from across the University showcased how Jefferson trains students to focus on sustainable practices in the classroom and beyond.

Those areas ranged from fashion-design students creating new garments from repurposed Converse sneakers and vintage gloves and the impacts of climate change and climate related disasters on health and healthcare delivery, to the creation of the multidisciplinary Institute from Smart and Healthy Cities.

Still, the topic is of such acute interest to students and faculty here at the University that – to commemorate October’s standing as Campus Sustainability Month – we will revisit the area and highlight additional means through which the focus turns to sustainability.

In this episode of the Nexus Podcast, you will hear from those who established our College of Architecture and the Built Environment as one of the earliest programs to zero in on sustainable design as an area of focus.

You’ll also hear from folks at the Kanbar College of Design, Engineering and Commerce who, upon fielding requests from students interested in learning more, are in the second year of offering an “Introduction to Life Cycle Assessment” elective which applies sustainability on a more granular level.
