Save the Date: Two-day Conference on Education for Sustainability

Student demand, institutional commitment, and faculty interest are all inspiring the integration of sustainability themes into higher education curricula and research agendas. The complex and interdependent nature of solutions for a more sustainable future call for inter- and trans- disciplinary teaching and research.

Institutional support for collaborate endeavors varies from campus to campus. Questions and challenges arise around tenure track and promotional requirements, funding, budgeting, and academic/disciplinary homes for faculty and students.
