{popup text="Abstract" class="btn" popwidth="500px" popheight="300px"} *Track 6: Enhancing Quality of Life in Our Towns Through Sustainable Planning and Efforts-233A HUB-Robeson Center Abstract Town-Gown engagement is a strong priority for many institutions, often focused on service learning and volunteerism.

Comprehensive course-community programs take engagement to a higher level, addressing real world challenges with the expertise of faculty, the ingenuity of students, and the perspectives from community partners. The Sustainable Communities Collaborative model provides experience to students and solutions to community based sustainability issues across all disciplines.
