The National Collegiate Honors Council (NCHC) is hosting a Civic Seminar on the Chesapeake Bay next summer!

The Opportunity: This unique, ten-day field seminar offers a hands-on approach to understanding the complex issues facing North America’s largest estuary system. It’s designed to immerse students in real-world civic challenges like climate change, social justice, and the conservation of natural resources—essential issues relevant to both the Chesapeake Bay and coastal regions in general. This seminar is a fantastic opportunity for our students to engage in place-based learning, offering them a model to critically evaluate public issues and propose solutions that could apply to similar challenges in our own region.

When & Where: This seminar will be…

• Over a ten day period, from May 31st, 2025, through June 9th, 2025
• In Richmond, Virginia, and the surrounding Chesapeake Bay area
