Sustainability Across the Curriculum Workshop
June 2nd, 2025 from 9 am - 3:30 pm in Iribe
The Sustainability Across the Curriculum Workshop (previously the Sustainability Teaching Fellows program/Chesapeake Project) is a one-day workshop and learning community where faculty from across the disciplines learn about sustainability and explore unique opportunities to integrate it into their existing courses.
- Faculty earn a $250 stipend to attend the workshop and integrate sustainability into course learning outcomes
- Faculty learning community meets to continue dialogue on sustainability throughout the year
Overview
The mission of the Sustainability Across the Curriculum Workshop is to enhance the culture of sustainability at the University of Maryland through the intentional integration of sustainability topics throughout the curriculum to prepare students to become effective change agents. The workshop will support faculty in forming an interdisciplinary network of colleagues and finding connections between their disciplines and real, place-based sustainability challenges. In effect, student learning is improved by giving them projects that look at local sustainability issues.
