Connection

This weeks topic of communication was rather different discussing the topic of organizations being tied to the environment, which at first made no sense and now it sort of does. Educational institutions are tied to the environment in a sense of helping people, educational wise. The ethical obligations that are present between city and university would be looked at as to what the students are going to give back in the long run. Knowledge? More well informed place to live? Applying what they have learned to their community and environment? The book also states colleges are intertwined with cities on a communal level. If the college expands, it puts pressure on the environment in terms of energy, transportation, housing needs, and communication in terms of emergency. When I say communication in terms of emergency I mean the school needs to respond properly in conjunction with the city to make sure everyone is safe.
