Does the institution have an ongoing program or programs that offer incentives for faculty in multiple disciplines or departments to develop new sustainability courses and/or incorporate sustainability into existing courses?:
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):
In the past, a less formal incentive program for faculty provided release time to develop courses such as our experiential capstone course in sustainability. Now revamped and revitalized, the new Levenick iSEE Teaching Sustainability Fellowship Program offers an opportunity for faculty and instructors across campus to join a cohort of peers in a yearlong program to develop, implement, and evaluate their new course offerings in sustainability.
A brief description of the incentives that faculty members who participate in the program(s) receive:
All faculty participants receive $1,000 - $2,000 as a stipend for participation in the Levenick iSEE Teaching Sustainability Fellowship program.
