Sustainability Across the Curriculum

Do you have ideas or examples of how to bring sustainability into UBC courses? We want to hear from you!

Who? Undergraduate and graduate students, alumni, post-docs, staff, faculty and community members are invited to join. Everyone is welcome.

What? It started as part of a year-long project coordinated through the Sustainability Office to develop a toolkit of resources to support faculty who wish to include sustainability in their courses, grew through collaboration with faculty, staff and students from seven Faculties, and is now co-hosted by the CTLT and the Teaching and Learning office at the University Sustainability Initiative.

How? We meet electronically and face-to-face. We seek your ideas and feedback on CTLT seminars and resources on sustainability in the curriculum.
