What's New
Sustainability Across the Curriculum
As recommended by the Sustainability Action Plan (SAP), during the 2016-17 school year, there's a new multi-session Sustainability Across the Curriculum program through the financial assistance of the Wesleyan Green Fund and support of the Office of Faculty Career Development. This program is designed to expand faculty knowledge and skills related to teaching about sustainability and to make more courses including sustainability content available to students in all divisions.
If you are interested, apply to attend the Sustainability Across the Curriculum Workshop and Seminar program by Thursday, September 29, 2016. The dates of the workshops are September 22nd and October 25th, and the seminar dates are November 1st, 8th, 15th, and 29th.
