Planetary Thinking in the Curriculum
In May 2016 a group of faculty launched Destinations: Planetary Thinking in the Curriculum. This workshop engages faculty in teaching about sustainability and the UN sustainable development goals in their curriculum. Integration into the curriculum, instead of a standalone course, ensures students encounter concepts of sustainability as it relates to their field of study, therefore providing multiple touch points to the concepts
throughout their time at USU.
"75 faculty participants and 8,250+ students reached since 2016 "
