A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the course inventory:
The sustainability committee includes one elected faculty representative from each of the five academic divisions. Each academic sustainability committee member met with the dean of his/her department to identify faculty with sustainability interests for a number of credits including sustainability courses, learning outcomes, and research. They also connected with chairs of each department. Using information they learned from the deans and individual chairs and their prior knowledge, sustainability committee members reached out directly to individual faculty members in their division. Either the sustainability committee member or individual faculty members filled out an online form for each sustainability course or course that included sustainability. Information for courses going back three years were collected, but only courses taught in 2014 were included in the final count. Campus Sustainability Coordinator Lisa Mitten reached out directly to faculty with sustainability interests that were not captured during prior efforts and added any missing courses from prior inventories.
