ABOUT THE project Library

Four students kneel in a shaded parking lot around a box of potatoes and sort them into bags for a food drive.

The applied learning project library showcases projects that situate Duke University as a living learning laboratory for hands-on sustainability and climate change education.

Past projects featured here demonstrate how students, faculty and staff collaborated to address climate and sustainability challenges and opportunities across campus. 

Projects included in the library took shape through various Duke programs and courses such as Bass Connections and Nicholas School Master's Projects.
