Sustainability Minor - Curriculum developmentOur overarching goal is to create a minor that will grow into courses and programs that engage students in the most compelling issue of the 21st century and ultimately ensure that students leave this university with a commitment to sustainable practices as private citizens and professionals. Faculty from across a wide variety of disciplines are participating in an emerging program to develop a minor at URI in sustainability, which is broadly defined to include the triad of environment, social equity and economics. This initiative is funded by both the U.S. Department of Education and most recently by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
We invite proposals from URI faculty and staff for small grants of up to $2,000 for the development of new courses or for the enhancement of current courses that will contribute to a rich curriculum in support of an interdisciplinary minor in sustainability.
