|
January 27, 2015, Volume 61, No. 20 |
Penn’s Climate Action Plan, the University’s roadmap for sustainability, was produced in 2009 and recently updated in October 2014. Among the recommendations of the Climate Action Plan 2.0 is a particular focus on support for Penn faculty in this area.
One existing program now in its fourth year, is Integrating Sustainability Across the Curriculum—a means for faculty to integrate elements of sustainability into new or existing courses. Faculty participants work with a paid undergraduate summer research assistant to revise course content, adjust syllabi, change presentation materials and reading lists, modify exams and more. An introduction to the eight-week summer program and guidance will be provided at an early May faculty workshop. This is organized by Penn’s Green Campus Partnership.
To apply, submit a one-page proposal to sefisher@upenn.edu that:
• describes the existing or proposed course;
• indicates the reason for integrating or enhancing sustainability in the course; and
• includes a brief work plan for a student research assistant.
