Summary

Collaborative learning across disciplines can be advantageous. A Creative Inquiry (CI) class paired Animal and Veterinary Sciences and Public Health Sciences students to compete in a Global Solution Competition. This CI challenged the student pairs to develop solutions towards the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in a low-income nation. Course participants reported a deeper understanding of SDGs through collaborations with a non-discipline peer, as reflected in survey and focus group findings.
