Sustainability Leadership

Catalog description

While individual sustainability actions are crucial, the collective power of organizations - such as nonprofits, schools, businesses, and communities - can significantly amplify the impact toward sustainability goals through changes in organizational culture, environmental actions, policies, social norms, and behaviors. This course explores how anyone can become a sustainability educator and a sustainability leader within their organization to motivate their colleagues and peers to address social and environmental challenges. Through this course, aspiring sustainability leaders will explore how to foster transformative changes, sustainability learning, and environmental norms in their organizations, communities, and neighborhoods. As agents of change, students in this undergraduate-level course will develop strategies that inspire and guide individuals and organizations toward sustainability and equity.
