How can we integrate sustainability
into our curriculum?
President Tim
White signed the Talloires Declaration on behalf of the University
of Idaho in March 2005. His signing of the declaration committed the
University of Idaho to developing a sustainability plan for the
university that includes integration of environmental sustainability
concepts into all aspects of the university's curriculum. This
workshop will examine the approaches used by other institutions of
higher education to successfully integrate sustainability into their
curricula. Workshop leaders will include University of Idaho faculty
involved in core curriculum development and teaching, University of
Idaho students, community educators, and outside experts who have
been directly involved in sustainability curriculum development at
other universities. The primary goal of the workshop will be to
develop of an initial approach and plan for integrating
sustainability into the University of Idaho curriculum. An outcome
of the workshop will be the presentation of this plan to the
University community for further discussion.
Session format: Discussion
leaders and co-leaders will introduce each session with short
presentations covering the goals of the session and posing questions
to the audience for discussions to follow.
