A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the inventory:
During the spring semester 2013, The Dean of Student Affairs office worked with the Curriculum and Educational Policy Committee to formalize a definition for sustainability for both course work and research. Once established, the Associate Dean for Academic Affairs sent an e-mail to all faculty asking them to self-identify if they believed any of their courses fell under the categories of sustainability related or sustainability focused. They also asked faculty to self-identify if they thought their scholarly research projects or grants met the criterion for sustainability research. A follow up, targeted email was sent to faculty based upon an initial inventory of courses and research.
