Faculty Proposals for Sustainability Courses: February 5	Print Issue
,

The Sustainability Office is currently accepting faculty proposals for the Integrating Sustainability Across the Curriculum (ISAC) program with a deadline of February 5. Now in its 5th year, ISAC provides paid interns to assist faculty in integrating sustainability into new or existing courses. Faculty work with an undergraduate research assistant, chosen through a competitive selection process, over eight weeks of the summer to update course content, adjust syllabi, presentations and reading lists, and modify exams to include environmental sustainability issues.

Over the past four summers, the ISAC program has supported faculty in a diverse array of disciplines, including architecture, law, biology, engineering, urban planning, historic preservation and German language. Faculty participants have unanimously reported an extremely high quality of work and have been delighted by their students’ productivity and enthusiasm for the work. Since 2012, 27 faculty and 15 students have collaborated to infuse principles of sustainability into 24 courses.
