PROVOST’S LEARNING AND INNOVATION GRANT
Project Title: Multi-Campus Environmental Research and Media Collaboration.
Daniel Cosentino, MFA
Michael Waschak, PhD

“This project develops a multi-campus, student-designed, web-
based interactive environmental research portal. The goal of
the project will be fostering meaningful collaboration among
the faculty and students housed at RIT, RIT-ACMT, and
RIT/AUK.”
PLIG: ADAPTATION & IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM AWARDS
ADAPTATION & IMPLEMENTATION PROGRAM

“The collaboration will foster greater knowledge of regional
environmental issues among the students and faculty involved.
The final portal will provide a useful resource for researchers on
environmental issues. The interaction among providers of
content (environmental students) and the web-based
presenters of the content (AUK Media and IT students) will
provide a template for future cross-disciplinary collaborations
among RIT’s global campuses.”
