(Y)Our Changing World
Wicked Problems, Wolfpack Solutions invites you to begin your NC State journey by joining with scholars from across campus in this unique online class.
Wicked Problems, Wolfpack Solutions:
(Y)Our Changing World
(Y)Our Changing World includes discussions of Interconnections, Basic Needs, Disease, Environment, and Healthy Wolfpack.
We all encounter change. Students new to the Wolfpack members will soon see their personal, social, and academic lives change. We all see large and small changes in our natural world and our built environments that happen every day. In Wicked Problems, Wolfpack Solutions: (Y)Our Changing World, we’ll embark on a journey where we explore the changes we are experiencing, and consider whether and how we adapt and innovate in order to thrive through transitions.
All wicked problems are both global and local, and we have to think about them in terms of the future as well as our day-to-day lives. Most importantly, the only way to address any wicked problem is to work together as a diverse team of scholars.
