Circa one dozen participating faculty submit syllabi in advance, participate in the 2-day workshop, and submit revised syllabi by the end of the calendar year. The workshop is organized by UNCG Academic Sustainability Coordinator in collaboration with UNCG faculty and staff and the UNCG FTLC.

In addition to all meals and snacks, and the camaraderie and edification, faculty participants receive add pay of $250 if they successfully complete the workshop and submit a new or revised syllabus.
