Over 100 Students Enrolled in Campus Sustainability Seminar

 

During the spring semester of 2008, twelve William and Mary faculty across disciplines are teaching a 1-credit seminar on Campus Sustainability. 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 will produce concrete project proposals the best of which will be submitted to the administration.
