Practicum
The WSSS Practicum is a chance for WSSS students to work in a small group on the integrated assessment of a water resources case study. The goal of the practicum is to expose students to the techniques and thought processes of integrated assessment in order to train them as researchers and professionals. In both 2009 and 2010, the WSSS Practicum was on Elbow Cay in the Bahamas. Prior years had explored water issues local to Tufts Medford campus. The practicum is headed by Rusty Russell of the Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning Department with input from other participating WSSS faculty.
