Sustainability Faculty Learning Community
A faculty learning community (FLC) comprises an interdisciplinary group of faculty devoted to enhancing teaching, learning, and the university experience. FLCs have been shown to increase faculty interest in teaching and learning while providing a safe space for faculty to explore and implement new approaches, give and receive feedback, and generate a knowledge base accessible to the broader University community.
The Sustainability FLC is comprised of individuals currently working towards the sustainability teaching scholars designation, previous Wasatch Experience participants, and faculty interested in sustainability education.
Sustainability Faculty Learning Community Events take place two times a semester.
Check back soon for more information about the Fall 2023 & Spring 2024 FLC events!
