At the University of Richmond (UR), sustainability is defined as the creation of environmental, social, and economic conditions that foster health and well-being for people and the natural world in this generation and for the generations to come. Sustainability is an inherently interdisciplinary approach for shaping a better world and can be applied to any discipline or field.

The River City Project, UR’s Faculty Development Workshop, is focused on creating the space for faculty to ideate how to incorporate the practice and principles of sustainability into their curriculum through exploring various sustainability frameworks, networking with others, placed based education, and interdisciplinary collaboration.

The one-day workshop is open to UR and other colleges and universities’ faculty, staff, and administrators. The aim of the River City Project is to support the integration of sustainability across the curriculum through providing participants a facilitated experienced where they develop a shared understanding of sustainability, explore sustainability competencies and pedagogy, and enhance or develop their sustainability worldview.
