A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome that outlines how credit criteria are met and any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation:

The program, which consists of one Academic Sustainability Coordinator and two or more Faculty Fellows annually, promotes collaboration among scholarly disciplines in order to encourage the integration of sustainability in research and teaching across the campus. Fellows work on clearly specified projects that may include but are not limited to co- or extra-curricular campus programs, curriculum activities (including team-taught and individual courses), and innovative research projects or collaborations. The mission of the Academic Sustainability Coordinator is to lead the development of sustainability in the academic trust by increasing the quantity and improving the quality of sustainability outreach, teaching, and research activities at UNCG. Fellows are remunerated on an ad hoc basis in consultation with the faculty member’s department head and dean based on requested and available resources, which may include funding and/or adjustments to teaching, research, and/or service workloads equivalent to $3,500 annually.
