The University of Richmond campus celebrated International Education week (November 13-17, 2017) by going Danish, that is, by teaching about Danish environmental, social and political life in classes, eating Danish foods, engaging in hygge and other cultural traditions, adopting sustainable Danish behaviors, and tracking the ways in which these choices affect our environment and well-being as a campus.
