Does the institution have an ongoing program or programs that offer incentives for faculty in multiple disciplines or departments to develop new sustainability courses and/or incorporate sustainability into existing courses?:
A brief description of the program(s), including positive outcomes during the previous three years (e.g. descriptions of new courses or course content resulting from the program):
Full-Time Faculty are actively involved in paid Professional Development focused on course development and renewal during May and June each year. During this time, several workshop days are devoted to integrating College priorities into curriculum including Sustainability. In the last three years, the Office of Sustainability (OOS) has organized and hosted panels and workshops to help incorporate sustainability across the curriculum. Workshops have included Sustainability Employers and Faculty Champions. In 2015, the OSS also held one-one meetings with individual faculty during this period to bring a Sustainability Learning Outcome into required courses across the College. This resulted in 87% of Diploma Programs across the College including the Learning Outcome in required courses.
A brief description of the incentives that faculty members who participate in the program(s) receive:
This is paid time for full-time faculty that provides additional resources and guidance on sustainability content in courses as well as affirmation of sustainability elements already being taught in courses.
