Dr. Covelo, Department of Psychology, Professional Counseling, and Neuroscience at UW-Parkside, is our presenter. In this class we will examine the neural processes underlying habit formation, maintenance, and change. Then, we will explore how brain systems contribute to automatic behaviors (habits).

Dr. Skalbeck is Professor of Geosciences and the Academic Director for the Master of Science in Sustainable Management program. His topic for this class is “Integrated Water Management, Sustainable Agriculture, and Collective Watershed Stewardship”. Healthy water demands stewardship from all who rely on this life critical resource. Watersheds define local water resources and the land use that dictate the human impact on the fate of the water. Given all live within a watershed, all must share responsibility for proper care of water. Learn about management, land use, and emerging practices in the sustainable agriculture movement.
