A copy of the institution's definition of sustainability in the curriculum?:
"Sustainability is defined as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. This must be achieved in a manner that is ecologically sound, socially just, and economically viable. Therefore, sustainability in the curriculum educates students about the interconnections and interdependency of ecological, social, and economic systems, and develops an understanding of how the health of these systems impacts nature, human communities, and cultures. Sustainability in the curriculum engages students in systems dynamics and critical thinking to empower them to apply knowledge in the service of society, to solve climate and environmental problems, to provide leadership towards a sustainable future, and to incorporate these principles and concepts in their professional and civic engagements."
