The Infusion of Sustainability and Resilience into the Curriculum workshop series contributes to the development of courses that result in comprehensive sustainability and resilience across programs at UNL.
Faculty who address the challenges and solutions to living sustainably and creating resilient systems can connect students to societal issues, including human population growth, increased resource needs, and human impacts on the environment, all of which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and relate to issues of environmental justice, diversity, equity and inclusion.
Incorporating these concepts is a critical component of the university's Environment, Resilience, and Sustainability Master Plan.
This series of five two-hour sessions during the spring 2024 semester are on Jan. 19, Feb. 16, March 15, April 19, and May 10. Registration is available online.
Positive impact from previous participants include:
This workshop provided foundational knowledge on sustainability and the opportunity to lay the groundwork for embedding sustainability and resilience concepts into the curriculum of my 200-level lecture class.
Thank you for offering something new to explore in my pedagogical work.
I identified a network of instructors at UNL that are knowledgeable and passionate about sustainability. Meeting with and forming a professional relationship was one of the most valuable things that came out of this workshop, in addition to curriculum materials.
