The proposal included a summary of the opportunities for the HIghland campus to serve as a laboratory to enhance W&M educational opportunities across departments, for understanding and piloting sustainability initiatives, and for acknowledging, understanding, and starting to reconcile the role of W&M in legacies of social, racial, and environmental injustice. The proposal has been used to engage more W&M students, faculty, and community members in integrative conservation at Highland.
