Jeromy recently took the Community Planning for Resiliency course at Unity College with Professor Tamara Lawless.
"I chose Unity because I was looking for a Master’s program that could not only help take the next step in my professional journey remotely, but also provide the time and space I needed to transition from a purely educational background towards one that is sustainability-centered, connecting back to my roots in adventure education. I graduated this May with a degree in MPS Environmental Studies and Sustainability.
I took Community Planning and Resiliency during my final term along with the second half of my Capstone. It very much felt like a culminating experience for me. The topics explored each week connected to information I recalled from previous courses in ethics, economics, innovation, among others. There is something incredibly satisfying about making connections and relationships between topics that were otherwise hidden beforehand – like the lightbulb going off when an idea pops into your head. This is what each week of this course was like in my experience, except instead of a single lightbulb it was a whole firework show where each explosion represented a new connection or idea. Experiencing this was largely possible because of my fellow classmates and my professor, Dr. Tamara Lawless. Engaging with all of them in understanding resiliency, supporting and critiquing each other’s work, and exploring the topics presented through each other’s perspectives throughout the course made it all the more meaningful."
