In the summer of 2014, an electronic survey was distributed to all Emory faculty members, requesting whether or not courses taught by faculty from 2010-2013 were sustainability courses, courses that include sustainability, or neither. The data collected and reported here represents courses taught between Fall 2010 and Spring 2013.
