SERVICE LEARNING TO ACHIEVE MULTIPLE OBJECTIVES: INTEGRATING CAMPUS WATER SUSTAINABILITY INITIATIVES INTO ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES COURSES
Augsburg University is taking a multipronged approach to phase out the sale of bottled-water on campus, with the aim of reducing waste and greenhouse gas emissions and supporting the provision of drinking water as a human right and not a commodity. In support of this initiative, we have integrated service learning modules into two Environmental Studies courses: Environmental Science and Environmental Connections (an interdisciplinary class on the global water crisis). Using the campus as a lab, students undertook projects to assess infrastructure needs, to address misconceptions about the health and safety of tap water, and to shift campus culture towards embracing local water sources rather than relying on bottled water. We also integrated other experiential learning opportunities on local water sustainability issues into the classes, including a day trip paddling Voyageur canoes on the Twin Cities metro Mississippi, water “tasting” at the Water Bar (a local artist-led company that serves local water “on tap”), and touring a large metro-area wastewater treatment plant. Integrating service learning into courses by using the campus as a lab is an effective way to simultaneously meet both student learning objectives and university-level faculty service requirements.
