A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the course inventory:
Working with a sustainability metrics assistant, each discipline compiled a list of their sustainability research activities and initiatives, then complied them into one sustainability research activities and initiatives inventory.
Addendum: When compiling this data, we spoke with instructors and professors that we know include sustainability in all their courses, regardless of course title (some of which have been in the catalog for 30+ years). These professors work with the Office of Sustainability to conduct project each semester the course is offered, and we are quite familiar with how the courses are taught today.
