The Eco-LEEP (Living, Engaged, Educational Program) offers workshops, trainings, trips and resources for the USD community on ways to adopt and live a more sustainable lifestyle.  Workshops and trips are designed to educate and engage participants around practices, tips and skills they can easily incorporate into their everyday life.  Trips range from day outings to week long excursions and combine education, awareness and fun!  Our trainings are a way to learn a new skill, expand your current knowledge or become certified in an area of Environmental Education.

USD alumnus Tim Lynch produced a documentary film, "180° South," that retraces the steps of the 1968 journey by adventurists Yvon Chouinard and Doug Tompkins and also provides an important message about environmental awareness. 

Thank you to all the contestants that submitted photographs to the first annual "Explore Your World" photo contest.  Our panel of judges reviewed hundreds of entries and had a difficult task of selecting the finalists for the SLP gallery display. Student voting determed the first, second and third place winners.  Thank you to all that participated in submitting entries and voting, and a special thanks to George's Camera and Fromex Digital Pro Lab for sponsoring this event.  Your involvement made this contest a great success!  CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE WINNERS!
