Place as Text Civic Seminar

The Place as Text Civic Seminar, focused on the Chesapeake Bay, offers honors students a unique perspective on the complex issues surrounding North America’s largest estuary system. Participants in this ten-day field seminar will explore the Bay as both an economic engine for the region and a critical ecosystem in danger of collapse. The program challenges students to critically evaluate contentious civic issues—such as climate change, coastal resiliency, and the fates of keystone species—and develop solutions that can be applied to their own communities.

This seminar is an incredible opportunity for students to develop interdisciplinary perspectives on pressing public issues. Additional details, including registration information, can be found on the NCHC website: NCHC Civic Seminar – Chesapeake Bay.
