Webinar: STARS Incorporation into Capability-Based Gen Ed Curriculum
August 7, 2019 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm EDT
FreeThis session will cover incorporating STARS data collection AND report segments into an introductory sustainability course that fulfills a capability-based general education requirement (Sustainable Practices and Environmental Conscience). We will also review how the inclusion has evolved into the development of 2 courses, one 200-level and one 300-level, and how the process encouraged a donor to support our participation in STARS at the full membership level in 2018. Eureka College is a small (less than 600 students), liberal arts undergraduate institution in Eureka, Illinois. The college officially created a Sustainability Committee 3 years ago that includes staff, faculty, students, and trustees in its membership.
