We are creating an educational community whose central theme is sustainability, as it pertains to ecological conservation and social justice. We will achieve this synergy of education through the degrees that we will offer and their curricula: ( [link] ). By locating our campus near the Iwokrama national forest of Guyana, our students will be able to directly experience the diversity of the environment that we hope to protect. By creating all campus facilities using "green" architectural principals and by using renewable energy systems, we will show them how this can be done. Also, by providing students with an entire year dedicated to personal development and team building, we hope to help all students learn how best to cope with and diffuse conflict in all situations ( [link] ).
Thank you again for your involvement & interest.

How You Can Help:
The more feedback we receive as we develop the curriculum for this program, the better! As noted, these are complex issues. We are very carefully determining what ought to be included.
We are VERY actively seeking recommendations for: classes, text books, web sites, or existing university programs.
Thank you again for your involvement & interest.
