The Academics Subcommittee and Sustainability Coordinator presented to three committees/groups comprised of deans, academic department heads, and faculty members. Presentations included the parameters for inclusion in sustainability courses and courses including sustainability. They were asked to provide a list and descriptions of each course their department offered within the parameters.
