Key Objective

Description

The iCAP objective #6.1 is: Broaden the availability of sustainability education across the entire curriculum, beginning with first-year student orientation and continuing through commencement, with at least one of four proposed methods implemented by FY24. 

Background

In the iCAP 2020, four methods for broadening sustainability education were identified:

  1. First-year student sustainability seminar - This is being pursued through New Student Orientation.

  2. Sustainability general education (GenEd) credit - This was proposed through the Illinois Student Government.

  3. 100-level courses - iSEE is talking with the leadership for the Engineering 100 course.

  4. Sustainability workshop - This is being pursued as a Sustainability Best Practices Video.
