Past Faculty Learning Community Work

Each FLC is recruited to ensure representation from a diversity of academic disciplines with the intention of supporting and inspiring colleagues from each participant's home department. At the conclusion of each FLC, each participant is asked to prepare a video summary explaining the revisions they made to their class syllabus as a result of their participation in the FLC. They are also asked to provide a copy of their syllabus with the documented changes to provide examples of sustainability integration for other colleagues.听 听
