Bridging the Gap in Sustainable Climate Resiliency

Introduction

Are you ready to tackle real-world climate challenges while earning academic credit and experiencing a new culture? Join Bridging the Gap in Sustainable Climate Resiliency, a unique program bringing together students from The Catholic University of America and Universidad Anáhuac México in Spring Break 2025. Through virtual collaboration, hands-on urban agriculture projects, and a one-week study abroad experience in Mexico City, you'll gain technical skills, explore innovative climate solutions, and develop cross-cultural connections. Don’t miss this chance to make a difference while building your global leadership and interdisciplinary expertise!

Academics

Students participating in the program will earn one Catholic University credit by enrolling in a 1-credit course (CEE 120: Engineering Spring Break Trip). The course is led and taught by Dr. Rebecca Kiriazes and Dr. Jason Davison, assistant professors of Civil and Environmental Engineering. This program is open to all Catholic University undergraduate and graduate students. Priority acceptance will be given to engineering students, but all students are encouraged to apply.

Accommodation

Students will be housed in double rooms at a 4-star hotel in Mexico City center.
