Were going to be sustainable because we represent the new urban college model. We think the institutions in cities have a responsibility to engage in the issues of importance to those citizens. Were in a food desert. So were creating an urban food-distribution network….The charter school is K through 12, and its going to focus on sustainability. So were the first environmental charter school in the state of Texas. And the folks who have created the concept came from Austin College, which is another one of Americas pre-eminent small colleges. This was the kind of partnership we should have. Were developing this model of applied research. So my research area is how you transform small urban colleges into anchor institutions for their community.
