A brief description of the plan(s) to advance sustainability in Curriculum:
College and university presidents from across the state of Tennessee are gathering at Belmont University Wednesday, March 28, 2007, to sign the Talloires Declaration of the Association of University Leaders For a Sustainable Future (USLF) and commit to lead their respective institutions to achieve global environmental literacy and sustainability. Dr. Bob Fisher (Belmont University) will be joined by Dr. Hazel O’Leary (Fisk University), Dr. Wayne Riley (Meharry Medical College) and Dr. Forrest Harris (American Baptist College) to sign the declaration. Dr. Loren Crabtree (University of Tennessee at Knoxville) and Dr. George Van Allen (Nashville State Technological Community College) have sent electronic signatures for the declaration but cannot attend the signing in person. Many presidents from the Tennessee Board of Regents lent their support but cannot attend due to a previously scheduled Board of Regents meeting.
