Does the institution have a program that meets the criteria outlined above?:
A brief description of the program(s):
The Penstemon Project is designed for faculty beyond traditional environmentally focused disciplines to find ways to incorporate sustainability into their curriculum–-either as class content or in the way their class functions. It could be as simple as having a field trip to a nature area in a writing class–-or even simpler, carpooling to that field trip. A total of 40 faculty have participated in the Penstemon Project (in 2007 and 2009). In 2011, a total of 47 faculty will participate in three more sustainability-across-the-curriculum workshops.
A brief description of the incentives that faculty members who participate in the program(s) receive:
Project leaders provided inspiration, background information, space for discussion, and a monetary incentive for participants to develop their new or revised syllabi.
