Does the institution have a program that meets the criteria outlined above?:
A brief description of the program(s):
In Fall 2010 Center for Regional Sustainability launched a Faculty Sustainability Institute on curriculum change. The Institute provides training, support and stipends for faculty who redesign one or more courses to incorporate sustainability. The Institute has a selective application process and admits approximately 20 faculty per year from disciplines across the University. Faculty from regional institutions have also participated in the institute including faculty from CETYS University in Tijuana. The Institute faculty receive training and curriculum resources in a two-day workshop and participate in a series of lunch throughout the term. Currently, the Institute gives priority to faculty who teach general education courses, which typically enroll 50 or more students to ensure curriculum changes will impact a large number of students.
A brief description of the incentives that faculty members who participate in the program(s) receive:
Faculty receive stipends or other support for participating in a summer workshop, developing or redesigning a course to integrate sustainability and submitting documentation of their course or program changes.
