Dyson's AEM 2818 class, led by Sarah Jefferis, meet on the Ag Quad to discuss sustainability through writing.

Led by Sarah Jefferis, Grand Challenges students discuss creating sustainability through writing.

Upon receiving a CTI Innovative Teaching & Learning Grant, the Grand Challenges Program in the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management, part of the Cornell SC Johnson College of Business, created a project archive intended to spur critical reflection in students. By documenting past Grand Challenges initiatives through reflections and videography, the program’s impact is made clearer to students and project stakeholders alike. The archive also aims to provide guidance on transferring classroom skills to community action.

This summary is based on Carolyn Keller’s article in the Cornell Chronicle. See the video below for more information and project examples:
