Morven in Summer (MIS) is an expanded offering of the former Morven Summer Institute. MIS is an innovative sustainability-focused teaching, research, and engagement program for students and community members hosted on Morven’s 3,000 acres, a key landscape for multidisciplinary learning at the University of Virginia.
During Morven in Summer, undergraduate and graduate students with interests in sustainability, equity, design, food systems, and historical research will have the opportunity to escape the traditional confines of the classroom while working on projects with real-world applications. MIS occurs during Summer Sessions 1 and 3 and uses a two-week, condensed class format.
