Workshop: Symposium for Environmental Sustainability III          

Course ID - CTD0488b

Short Title: Environ Sustain III   

Description:
This symposium will focus on innovations to minimize the College's ecological impact and strategies to increase sustainability education in curriculum. MDC faculty, staff and administration will share current assessment of the College's environmental sustainability initiatives as well as develop next-step scenarios for facilities, operations, academics, outreach and behavioral modifications to lighten the College's footprint, support the new Strategic Plan, and address the Learning Outcomes. Participants will have the opportunity to network with others to explore and expand on ideas and approaches that were first identified in the May Global Education Retreat. Finally, participants will be asked to identify sustainability initiatives that are assessable and could be used as pilot projects at the college. These projects will be summarized and will be submitted to the College-wide Environmental Sustainability Steering Committee for review and suggested implementation.

Faculty members will present an academic pilot project that incorporates an understanding of environmental sustainability into his or her discipline to the College-wide Environmental Sustainability Steering Committee.  This project is due to the director of the Earth Ethics Institute 3 weeks from the date of the symposium for those requesting Professional Development Credit.
 

* Approved CT&D Workshop for Faculty Professional Development hours.
