A brief description of the program(s), including positive outcomes during the previous three years:
GMC pays faculty to create graduate courses in the three sustainability-focused graduate programs. The payment is $3,000 per course. A recent example is development of courses for the Masters in Resilient and Sustainable Communities. Twelve courses are currently being developed for this program, as of 2014. GMC carried out a similar program when creating the general education curriculum, even though this happened before the 3-year window for STARS credit reflected in this report. But, all faculty who currently teach in the Environmental Liberal Arts general education program have to develop and re-develop sustainability courses in order to remain actively engaged in the program.
None
