Strategies for Sustainability: Living Life as an Artist
A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:

This course is newly developed and is an innovation for these reasons: Not only does it cover personal sustainability practices, much aligned with our work with Continuous Energy Improvement-- focusing on individual ways to reduce energy. It is a multi-facetted approach to living a sustainable, fiscally responsible life as an artist.
