Sustainability Faculty Fellows

The University of Vermont Sustainability Faculty Fellows Program serves as an example of successfully integrating sustainability into courses across disciplinary boundaries.  Welcoming its first cohort in 2009, the program brings together faculty members from across disciplines via luncheons, a two-day January retreat, and online communications. The Sustainability Faculty Fellows Program is a joint endeavor of the Office of Sustainability, the Environmental Program, the Center for Teaching and Learning, and the GreenHouse Residential Learning Community at the University of Vermont, in partnership with the non-profit educational center Shelburne Farms.  The program builds on strong environmental academics at UVM and high levels of student and faculty engagement in sustainability to create a peer learning community for faculty to receive support and develop skills to implement sustainability concepts into their courses.
