The university is working to expand sustainability concepts into the classroom as a part of its Environment, Resilience and Sustainability Master Plan, which was adopted late last year. Among other goals, the plan calls for the university to become a net-zero campus in terms of carbon dioxide emissions and energy use by the year 2050, as well as for the adoption of sustainability concepts into teaching, learning and outreach.
Participating instructors will incorporate sustainability competencies into their course plan during the 2021-2022 academic year. Instructors selected for the program will receive training via four two-hour workshops during the spring 2021 semester. Those who successfully complete the training and have their module or unit accepted into the program will receive a $300 stipend. The application deadline is Jan. 25.
