Part 1. Institutional sustainability learning outcomes
Which of the following best describes the sustainability learning outcomes?:
A list of the institution level sustainability learning outcomes:
World History & Global Awareness (O) • Demonstrate an understanding of the structures, systems, and interrelationships among civilizations and cultures within historical and/or contemporary contexts, and their impact on wellbeing and sustainability Diversity, Equity, Inclusion & Social Justice (D) • Analyze the role that complex networks of social structures and systems play in the creation and perpetuation of the dynamics of power, privilege, oppression, and opportunity • Apply the principles of rights, access, equity, and autonomous participation to past, current, or future social justice action

A list of degree programs that require an understanding of the concept of sustainability:
- A list of degree programs that have sustainability learning outcomes: Environmental Science and Ecology Geology Earth Science Water Resources Business Meteorology A list or sample of the sustainability learning outcomes associated with the degree programs: Environmental Science: (i) Explain basic topics in environmental science, such as air and water pollution, population growth, energy and sustainability. (ii) Explain basic aspects of federal and state environmental law, such as the National Environmental Policy Act, the Clean Air and Water Acts, the Endangered Species Act, and the NY State Environmental Quality Review Act. Earth Science: (i) Explain the processes that affect the solid earth and the time scales in which they operate; describe how these processes have shaped earth history. (ii) Recognize atmospheric and oceanic circulations and explain how they influence Earth’s climate. (iii) Explain how science as an enterprise accounts for processes and phenomena that humans and society experience, infer and observe. Using a specific theme (e.g. future of life on earth, anthropogenic climate change, mutation and exchange of genes from viruses to humans, space travel and biodiversity), demonstrate how scientists use basic principles of energy, matter, motion, behavior in society, ecology and evolution to understand and predict phenomena on many different scales, ranging from the microscopic to universal. Geology: (i) Explain the Earth’s processes that shape the surface and near-surface environment; apply these concepts to real-world problems. (ii) Recognize the chronology of important events in earth history and how this history can be inferred from the rock record. (iii) Explain the significance of energy and mineral resources to modern social, economic, and political forces and perspectives on energy and mineral resource development and exploitation, present use and management, and alternatives to current utilization practices. Water Resources: (i) Evaluate and analyze, for natural and anthropogenic influences, hydrological systems and processes for the purpose of water resources assessment and management. Business: (i) Understand the business environment, including societal, ethical, legal, political, and diversity issues that impact business. (ii) Analyze commercial, social, and ethical situations from the perspectives of different organizational stakeholders. Understand globalization, public policy, government regulation, consumer rights, corporate social responsibility, environment concerns, employee rights, and corporate governance. Meteorology: (i) Demonstrate an understanding of the general circulation of the atmosphere and explain how it influences the climate of a place. (ii) Discuss atmospheric parameters (temperatures, humidity, pressure, winds); the formation of clouds, rain and snow; middle-latitude cyclones and hurricanes; and the development of thunderstorms, lightning, hail and tornadoes. (iii) Demonstrate weather forecasting, climate change, air pollution, and optical phenomena. Able to analyze meteorological concepts, data, and maps.
