A brief description of the institution’s program(s) to encourage faculty research in sustainability:
The Sustainability and Environmental Education Development (SEED) grant initiative offers funding and professional development for faculty interested in building environmental content and curriculum into their courses or other work at the college. Teaching faculty may apply for funding to develop course content, interdisciplinary collaborations, and experiential education within their existing and/or new courses. Administrative faculty working on sustainability and environmental issues in the co-curriculum are also encouraged to apply and participate. The aim of the program is to "seed" engagement with sustainability and environmental issues across the curriculum and co-curriculum.
