Yes
A brief description of the program(s), including positive outcomes during the previous three years (e.g. descriptions of new courses or course content resulting from the program):
The Sustainability Re-imagined workshop features two days of formal presentations that are just long enough to inspire, engage, and leave you wanting more. Outdoor walks (weather permitting), local knowledge, and small and large interdisciplinary group discussions help strengthen a sense of place and support imaginative connections for courses. Following the workshop, you will work on designing, or redesigning a specific course to include sustainability, all the while being supported by your colleagues and the staff from both CAFÉ and the Office of Sustainability.
Positive outcomes include development of interdisciplinary course, sustainability included as area of consideration for student assignments, integration of discipline specific sustainability content, and modified reading lists.
