GreenHouse Guilds

guild (gĭld) n.

1. An association of persons of the same trade or pursuits.
2. A similar association, as of merchants or artisans, in medieval times.
3. (Ecology) A group of diverse species, especially animal species, that occupy a common niche in a given community, characterized by use of environmental resources in the same way.

As a member of the GreenHouse Community, you are invited to join learning groups known as "Guilds". The topical areas represented by this year's Guilds were chosen based on student input at the end of last semester. By joining a Guild, you will have the opportunity to work closely with mentors and fellow residents as you acquire new skills and knowledge in an area of environmental interest.

Each Guild will have events scheduled through the semester, and will culminate in celebrations/presentations. Returning students will assume initial leadership roles in the guilds, but will work to engage the participation of first-year students as the semester unfolds. Faculty, staff, graduate students, and community members will serve as mentors.

Stay tuned for an updated list of Guild offerings for 2009-1010!
