Betsy Shimberg, the assistant dean of the Vern, said the Sustainability and Harvest House LLCs will launch this upcoming academic year to bring together students with shared interests in sustainability or food for a year-long residential experience. She said the Sustainability LLC, jointly led by GW’s Alliance for a Sustainable Future and the Office of Sustainability, will connect students who have interest in the planet and its inhabitants, while the Harvest House LLC, an initiative of GW’s Global Food Institute, will use food as a “lens” for living and learning.
“GW is a community of scholars, and Living-Learning Communities (LLCs) take critical thinking and reflection beyond the classroom and into the residential experience,” Shimberg said in an email.
