In addition, participants in ES401/402 must attend one of the final capstone course (ES 493/494) presentations in addition to their own (Fall semester) and at least two ES Honors Presentations given at the Undergraduate Research Symposium (Spring semester).

4. Participants will receive one credit upon successfully completing both the fall and spring courses.

5. Students in this course will be involved in helping faculty to host speakers during their visits to Colby. Students will also be expected to take their turn in introducing guest speakers.  When possible, small group dinners will be set up to provide informal opportunities for discussions of contemporary environmental issues with the speakers.
