Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Although individual faculty occasionally survey students in their individual classes to test sustainability literacy (e.g., Craig Nicolson in EnviSci 445; Lena Fletcher in NRC 185; Robert Ryan in LARP 687; Erin Baker in M&IE), we have not yet implemented our institution-wide plan to assess Sust Literacy comprehensively.
We are in the early stages of discussing the value of a General Education requirement in Sustainability, and as we move forward with this initiative, one aspect of our planning includes an assessment (likely using the Ohio State SKA instrument).
