Interim (February 16 - 27)
Students will be introduced to the environmental, political, economic, and socio-cultural issues associated with dam construction/dam removal and hydro-power projects at the local, regional, and international level. During the Interim week, students will weigh the costs and benefits of hydroelectric power while learning about the impacts of dams on river ecosystems. This interim precedes the 2012 Spring Break CRMS exchange trip to Chile in partnership with Rios to Rivers. Unless taking part in Sophomore Interim, all students participating in the Rios to Rivers Chile and Grand Canyon Exchange will engage in this on-campus Interim: Water in the West.
