Twelve students from Stanford’s Sophomore College Course, in cooperation with the Sitka Sound Science Center, spent three weeks in Sitka, exploring the human component of environmental sustainability. The program is titled, “In the Age of the Anthropocene: Coupled Human-Natural Systems in Southeast Alaska.” Program Instructor Aaron Strong says the students focused on four aspects of sustainability: forests, fisheries, tourism, and energy. Students Elizabeth Hillstrom and Christopher Yeh say the experience was life-changing. All twelves students will present their findings today (Thursday, Sept. 17) at 5 pm at Kettleson Memorial Library.
