Dear Colleagues, AASHE has partnered with 13 institutions <http://www.aashe.org/partners/centers-for-sustainability-across-the-curriculum/> to offer workshops and other professional development opportunities on sustainability in the curriculum. The Centers were selected through a competitive application process held in 2016.

Faculty from all disciplines are encouraged to participate.

This two-day event has two attendance options: Day 1 can be attended virtually via three webinars or in person. All participants meet in person on the second day. The first day (and three webinars) will be devoted to: intersections for sustainability and social justice, the prairie bioregion, and using campus as a learning laboratory to stretch departmental budgets. During the second in-person day all participating faculty will be guided through group work, discussion, and learning lab installation visits, with time to brainstorm and share feedback with faculty from their own or other institutions. What: International Center for Sustainability Across the Curriculum (ICSAC) Conference <http://www.utrgv.edu/icsac> Where: McAllen Embassy Suite, McAllen Convention Center, McAllen, TX When: May 19-20, 2017 Registration Deadline: April 20, 2017 Contact person: Devon Hernandez <mailto:devon.hernan...@utrgv.edu> Description: Growing out of the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley’s (UTRGV) successful Project Sin Fronteras, the program has a common goal that brings together faculty from all fields, allowing for an exchange of ideas in a nurturing and enriching collaborative atmosphere. The intensive two-day interdisciplinary exercise helps faculty to explore the shifts in pedagogy needed to incorporate sustainability concepts, problems, or solutions into new or existing courses. How can instructors juggle all of these demands without abandoning disciplinary expertise and designing a syllabus from scratch? In this hands-on, fast-paced workshop, participants will 1) develop a transdisciplinary framing of sustainability relevant to their discipline, and 2) (re)design an existing or planned syllabus using a guided, hands-on process. International faculty, and faculty from across the nation, are invited to join local, state, national, and global participants, providing international experiences while opening a range of collaborative and networking opportunities for all.
