Ithaca College

Starting Tuesday, March 4, at noon, the Partnerships in Sustainability Education program kicks off a new opportunity for faculty who are interested in infusing sustainability-related content into their courses. This Spring, the "Sustainability Brown Bag" series will be held on the first Tuesday of each month from noon to 1pm in the Gerontology Institute Conference Room, 4th floor of the Center for Health Sciences.

The discussion topic for this first Sustainability Brown Bag will be on "Using EcoVillage's Living Laboratory to Teach Sustainability Across the Curriculum." Ecovillage at Ithaca (EVI) educator Tina Nilsen-Hodges will give a brief presentation about EcoVillage, and she will brainstorm with participants about how they could use EVI to support their course goals. Nilsen-Hodges will highlight the dimensions of an education for sustainability and how faculty can integrate them into their work with students.

So, plan to "brown bag" your lunch and come join your colleagues for this discussion.
