Faculty

Faculty members from across the university support the Minor in Sustainability by teaching “sustainability-focused” courses. These are foundational courses with a primary and explicit focus on sustainability, an explicit focus on the application of sustainability within a field, or courses with a focus on understanding or solving a major sustainability challenge. Faculty members also support the minor by serving as faculty advisors on senior capstone projects.
