Tom Landgraf teaches a real estate class with a focus on sustainable green development at UW-Madison. Recently a former student of his, Dan Cornelius, Wisconsin Union vice president for project management and also a UW law student getting his MA in environment and resources, came to speak to Landgraf’s class about the Union South redevelopment. In lieu of a conventional lesson plan, the class will complete projects to benefit Union South’s redesign.
“If the class must work on a project, why not make it project about something they live with, like a major student building on campus?” asks Landgraf.
