A brief description of the program(s), including positive outcomes during the previous three years:

As part of the new general education curriculum adopted by UCCS, the Provost's Office is supporting a Sustainability Director who will plan and facilitate workshops for faculty to develop sustainability courses across campus. The general education requirement that all students take at least one course relating to sustainability also serves as an incentive, since colleges and departments must now make sustainability courses available in order for their students to graduate.


A brief description of the incentives that faculty members who participate in the program(s) receive:

The Sustainability Director receives a one-course offload; financial incentives are forthcoming (but not yet specified) from the Provost's Office to develop integrative sustainability courses.
