A brief description of the methodology the institution followed to complete the inventory:
A survey was conducted in March 2009 to find out where sustainability is currently being taught in the Luther curriculum in order to help the task group identify opportunities to make sustainability a part of every student’s learning experience. The goal was to create as complete an inventory as possible, so the task group chose a brief, quantitative survey in order to maximize the response rate. A complete copy of the survey used to create the inventory can be found here: http://www.luther.edu/sustainability/education/survey/
