Sharing in the Benefits of a Greening City
Sharing in the Benefits of a Greening City
The CREATE Initiative aims to create a “front door” to the research university through the Department of Geography, Environment and Society - a place where communities in the Twin Cities, greater MN, and beyond can partner with researchers to ask and answer questions that advance shared goals of thriving, green, healthy, inclusive, and just cities. By engaging undergraduate students in research that centers the priorities of those historically excluded from shaping academic research, we are advancing the mission of our land-grant university and training the next generation of community-engaged, research-driven, visionary leaders.

Our curriculum bridges geographic research with the practice of ethical community collaboration. Through a curated progression of courses led by core CREATE faculty, students leverage a liberal arts foundation to tackle complex challenges in dialogue with community partners, culminating in a research capstone where theory meets practice. CREATE scholars graduate not just with a degree, but with a cutting-edge toolkit for a fulfilling career working with communities.
