They all facilitate the use of campus resources to connect students, faculty and staff to hands-on, sustainable projects at their universities. They discuss the many common terms used for these programs including "campus as living lab", "campus as a learning lab", "applied learning." Each guest talks about the logistics of how their programs are structured, funded and evolving.
