iSEE is offering seed funding to help faculty & instructors incorporate sustainability into the classroom in 2022-23. Levenick Teaching Sustainability Fellows can get $1,000 to integrate sustainability into an existing course or $2,000 to develop a new course, as well as resource support. 100- and 200-level courses encouraged.
Ben, The first thing that comes to mind for me is: what do we need to do to get some solar installed on campus roofs? I think there is a lot of potential, but also a lot of hurdles. For example, which roofs can support the weight of the modules? Which can be reinforced to support the extra weight? This is a nice mechanical engineering problem.
Dear SWATeam Chairs, Last year F&S, in collaboration with iSEE's predecessor, started a new program for Sustainability Faculty Fellows. The idea was to engage our faculty in addressing sustainability-related issues that directly impact the F&S mission. F&S generated several potential project ideas, and then an RFP was issued to the campus community; faculty could propose to tackle these projects themselves (with summer salary support) and could also request funding for an RA to support the work.
