More information about the Campus Sustainability
Seminar:
The campus Sustainability seminar is a 1-credit seminar taught by twelve William
and Mary faculty across disciplines. Offered during the spring semester of
2008, the course is built around a series of five public lectures and
small groups of students then meet in a seminar setting with their respective
faculty to discuss the key issues. The overall goal of the course is to help
students integrate and critically assess information from different disciplines
(policy, management, and natural science) that all bear on the same issues—how
can universities adopt environmentally sustainable approaches to their business
practices, and how can this work enhance the educational mission of the
university? At the end of the course, students produced over 70 concrete
project proposals. The best proposals will be submitted to the administration.
