Are you ready to see your institution move forward to engage faculty in reorienting curriculum around sustainability? Join us for an introduction to a leading model for faculty development and curricular innovation around sustainability: the Piedmont/Ponderosa model. The model has been used by dozens of institutions—large and small, public and private—for over 20 years with resulting faculty enthusiasm,  renovated courses, and long-term impacts on research, teaching, and interdisciplinary collaboration. Based on a two-day workshop format, the model has also been adapted for one-day and mini-workshop formats. This free virtual orientation will share key elements of the model and help participants think about how the model might be applied at their institution.

Participants in this orientation may also be interested to participate in the next cohort of the Global Sustainability Across the Curriculum Program Development Support Group, (starting in summer 2024), a longer term program that guides participants through the key steps involved in establishing a successful sustainability across the curriculum program at their institution.
