Brittain Fellow Sarah O’Brien received a Public Service Pathways grant from Tech’s new Office of Serve-Learn-Sustain that will facilitate a partnership between her English 1102 course on Ecomedia and the community organization Trees Atlanta. As part of their study of the rhetorical effects of media on environment, students in the course will produce public service announcements about the organization’s Beltline Arboretum Project. Sarah is also serving on a team of eight SLS trainers who will provide professional development workshops for faculty and staff on how to best incorporate sustainability issues and community engagement into their teaching.
