Recognize Success & Share Innovations in Sustainability Curriculum

This initiative proposes to elevate sustainability and climate change education by celebrating innovative achievements and promoting cross-disciplinary collaboration. It aims to establish an annual award to honor faculty leaders and leverage existing communication channels to share success stories and pedagogical innovations in sustainability education. The initiative seeks to foster a more inclusive and justice-centered approach across disciplines, encouraging broader faculty participation and recognition. Actionable items include:

• Establish an annual award in sustainability and climate change education to recognize faculty achievements and innovations.
• Develop and implement a quarterly email initiative managed by student workers to disseminate success stories and pedagogical innovations in sustainability education.
• Engage faculty across disciplines to encourage participation and nominations for the sustainability education award.
• Ensure equity, justice, and inclusion principles are part of sustainability and climate education initiatives and award criteria.
