How can I position my courses with University-wide sustainability programs to increase enrollment?
Over the last few years, the University has increased its offerings of graduate and undergraduate programs focused on sustainable development and climate resilience. The launching of the UM Climate Resilience Academy is the culmination of such trends in academics. We invite you to join a group of colleagues from various UM departments as they share their personal journey in academia, and how they decided to integrate sustainability into their syllabus. Join our panelists, Prof. Daniel Hicks (Miami Herbert Business School), Prof. Julia Wester (Ecosystem, Science and Policy), and Prof. Justin Stoler (Geography and Sustainable Development) on Wednesday, May 11 from 12-12:45 p.m. RSVP now.
