The Justice Challenge (2023-2026)
Food | Climate | Sustainable Agriculture
Honors students from universities across the United States explored the complex issues around climate justice (2023-2025) and sustainable agriculture (2025-2026). Collaborating with experts from a variety of fields, they engaged with real social needs and developed their capacity for civic engagement, innovation and leadership.
The program was open to a limited number of participants. Each student enrolled in an opening online 1-day workshop, an eight week online colloquium, and a 1-day concluding online conference.
In addition, each student participated in at least one of three signature experiences: a Design Challenge (semester-long course, in-person); a Hackathon (2-day, in person or online); or a Field Course (1 week, in-person).
IBEC STUDENT INTENSIVES
These are summit-style "hack-a-thons" for honors students centered on ideas, networking, and real-world problem solving, intended to foster deep student engagement with emerging issues and challenges. They include opportunities to engage with experts across the disciplines and fields and build their network.
