Western students and faculty played a key role in bringing solar energy to the Gunnison Country Food Pantry, gaining hands-on experience in sustainable technology through a collaborative installation workshop. By reusing donated solar panels and equipment, the project not only reduced the pantry’s energy costs but also demonstrated Western’s commitment to community partnership and climate solutions.
Join Western Anthropology students as they study abroad at the summer Field School. They’ll accompany Professor Dr. David Hyde on an archaeological dig to uncover Mayan ruins in Belize. Experience life at the camp in the jungle and see the discoveries they make along the way.
