Integrating Sustainability Across the Curriculum (ISAC) program was established in 2012 to help Penn faculty introduce environmental sustainability into existing and new courses. Faculty participants explore sustainability concepts at a one-day workshop in the late spring, and then are partnered with an undergraduate student research assistant to work over the summer to integrate sustainability into course syllabi, lectures, assignments, reading material and tests. The research assistants work 40 hours a week for eight weeks starting in June and are paid with funds made available by the Academics Subcommittee of Penn’s Environmental Sustainability Advisory Committee.
The deadline for faculty applications for the Summer 2014 ISAC program is February 3, 2014. Application materials can be found online: www.upenn.edu/sustainability/programs/integrating-sustainability-across-curriculum The websitehas profiles of past course descriptions and student-produced posters for those interested in learning more.
The deadline for ISAC student research assistant applications is March 7, 2014.
