Ecolatrine Under Construction |
Dr. David Sabatini will join OU colleagues
on an exploratory trip to Gulu, Uganda in April. The interdisciplinary group will be hosted by
CNN Hero Sister Rosemary Nyirumbe and the Saint Monica’s Vocational
School. Representatives from diverse
colleges including Architecture, Arts and Science, Business, CCEW, Education,
Engineering, International Studies and Medicine will identify service learning
projects for future student teams to adopt. The vision is for interdisciplinary
class(es) to be taken at OU where students will design a system that will subsequently
be implemented in Uganda as the culmination of the educational
experience. Sabatini will represent CEES, the WaTER Center and the
College of Engineering. Potential
projects range from ecolatrines to earth block buildings to solar powered
systems. Stay tuned for exciting updates!
