21. “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.”
