(Word Count: 107) Underwent a service-learning case study of the UCF Arboretum’s facilities. Examined students' thoughts, knowledge, and feelings about Environmental Education. Examined what the Arboretum could do to further increase engagement and purpose for students on campus, as well as increase knowledge and student well-being. Read and analyzed journal article about a case study on the effects of Environmental Education on children in K-12 schools. Also analyzed a journal article on how to make volunteerism more prioritized for college students. For each article, concepts were applied to logic models and asset maps in order to gain a full understanding of how to increase Environmental Education and awareness on campus.
