Field Research and Experiential Learning
Professor Sarah Lawson has helped establish a pollinator garden on Mount Carmel Campus to invigorate native pollinator biodiversity.
Riya Miller ’23, MS ’24, is taking advantage of the new garden for an 8-week research project. She designed her project to study the social hierarchy of the small carpenter bee.
The garden contains eight themed beds hosting 200 varieties of native plants. Plants were chosen to bloom in succession for year-round growth.
The research explores the role of nutrition in shaping the native bee community, the impacts of floral resource availability on foraging habits, and the effects of nutritional availability on pollinator physiology.
Earth Day Sustainable Fashion Show
Students modeled dresses fashioned from materials including silk flowers, stenciled coffee filters, handmade tissue paper flowers, shopping bags, newspaper, papier mâché and recycled plastic and fabrics.
Of the 150 billion garments produced every year, a third are sold, another third are discounted, and the last third ends up in a landfill.
60 percent of new clothes are tossed within a year of purchase.
This unconventional sewing course does not require the operation of a sewing machine or use of textiles to design garments.
Students learn sewing basics, including reading patterns, layout and cutting, taking body measurements, conducting fittings and hand-stitching seams.
Each student designs and constructs one item of clothing and one accessory item using 100 percent sustainable materials.
Finished projects are showcased at the Sustainable Fashion Show on Earth Day, which is fully organized and managed by students.
