Integrating Sustainability Across the Curriculum	Print Issue
,

The Green Campus Partnership is soliciting proposals from faculty to participate in a workshop aimed at integrating sustainability into the undergraduate curriculum. The workshop focuses on how to revise an existing course or create a new course for the 2013-2014 academic year, in any discipline, that integrates sustainability as a theme. Participants in the workshop will be placed with a paid half-time student summer research assistant in the summer of 2013.

Requirements for participation in the Integrating Sustainability Across the Curriculum (ISAC) workshop:

• the majority of students in the course must be undergraduates—for an existing course, the majority of students have been undergraduates, and a proposed course should be designed for undergraduates;
  
• sustainability must be integrated thematically throughout the course;
  
• each faculty member commits to a one-day workshop on April 26, 2013;
  
• each faculty member agrees to co-supervise a student research assistant in the summer of 2013 to help research course design, materials, and assignments.

To apply, please submit a one-page proposal describing the existing or proposed course and indicating the reason for integrating sustainability into the course and a brief work plan for a student intern.
