Curriculum Development
Our faculty members are busy integrating sustainability into new and existing classes and programs. This past year, we held a professional development opportunity for faculty on campus, Sustainability Across the Curriculum. Thirty-eight faculty from many disciplines (mix of both liberal arts and professional-technical) attended. The results of that work are posted here by discipline. Each title will link to a PDF file.
