A brief description of the program(s), including positive outcomes during the previous three years:
Kanawha Project:
Environmental literacy is increasingly being recognized as an important asset in the professional, educational, and personal spheres. A person who is environmentally-literate understands basic environmental concepts, holds beliefs related to sustainability, and has skills to solve environmental problems. One of the most essential populations to work with to enhance environmental literacy is undergraduate students. This population is only a few steps away from becoming the business and community leaders who will have the power to make decisions that will affect the sustainability of the global environment.
Understanding where you live in relation to the environment is one important component of environmental literacy. The goal of the Kanawha Project, named for the physiographic region in which Ohio University is situated, is to develop the environmental literacy of undergraduate students. The project will enhance the undergraduate curriculum through faculty professional development.
Faculty development in environmental literacy will strengthen the curriculum and enhance the undergraduate experience. Knowledge of environmental sustainability issues will give Ohio University graduates a competitive advantage in the workforce. In addition, environmental literacy will enable them to make wise consumer choices that can positively contribute to environmental quality and sustainability.
