A brief description of the program(s):
In 2011-2012 the WSU Office of the Provost is supplying an initial $10,000 for curricular development in the area of sustainability. Using existing grant proposal forms faculty members will apply for funds to develop sustainability-focused or related courses, which they will be required to offer at least twice. Depending on the number of proposals submitted, the initial dollar value of the contribution can be raised. Applications will be reviewed by a subcommittee of the University’s Environmental Issues Committee (EIC). Additionally, a portion of these funds will be used for a faculty retreat in order to launch a pilot ecopeer project, where faculty members with expertise in sustainability will guide faculty members wishing to incorporate sustainability into their curriculum.
A brief description of the incentives that faculty members who participate in the program(s) receive:
Faculty members will receive up to $2,000 to develop their sustainability focused/related course if their grant is approved.
