SCI - Changing How Students Learn

Participating in a Sustainable City Year Program (SCYP) project can be highly rewarding. It offers the opportunity to apply the disciplinary concepts and tools students are learning in class to a real issue with communities in Oregon. It provides a bridge between the neat problems at the back of a textbook and the real world that students will encounter after graduation. Students who have collaborated on SCYP have seen many benefits such as real experience in their field and honing high-demand employment competencies like teamwork and presentations. This preparation is extremely valuable for student's next step after graduation: their career.
