A brief description of the methodology used to complete the course inventory :
An initial list of all courses taught during all semesters of the 2018-2019 academic school year was obtained from the Registrars Office. The database was thoroughly reviewed to search for and identify potential sustainability courses by identifying courses that were indentured as sustainability related for the previous STARS submission, searching for the term "sustainability" in the course catalog, and then identifying other courses that correlated with a UN Sustainable Development Goal.
Additionally, results of the inventory were then shared with all thirteen schools through the Dean's office where further input and refinement occurred.
