It's learning cluster season once again! Obviously, this time can provide opportunity to do and see a lot of things abroad... but it could also be an opportunity to look at our home from a new perspective...
"Sustainability means more than a 'green' environmental consciousness. A healthy society and planet has the capability to endure economically, socially, and environmentally.
What does sustainability mean for universities?
In this learning cluster, we will study campus sustainability on both theoretical and practical levels.
Universities have special roles in promoting sustainability both as educational institutions and as examples for the wider community. Sustainability on campus plays out in academics, operations (the physical impact of the university),
and in the administration.
How have other universities worked to become more sustainable? What actions is SUA taking to be more sustainable? What direction should SUA take in the future?
Activities will include meeting with the main players in SUA's sustainability drive, and (if possible) making some field trips to understand how nearby universities have tackled the challenge.
The course will be academically challenging and will encourage students to develop their academic abilities in thinking, learning, and writing about campus sustainability."
(based on my experience in his previous LC)
You will learn a ton, and it will be super rewarding!
