Pathways to Resilience Goals and Initiatives
Through the Pathways to Resilience project, we are working with partners across campus to develop and implement a climate literacy curriculum that prepares every graduate to participate in positive climate actions in their professions and communities. We aspire to educate a generation of thinkers and doers who can help address climate disruptions in ways that are evidence-based and inclusive of diverse perspectives and communities.
Our overarching goals related to student learning include:
Basic climate literacy instruction: Support the development of introductory, solutions-oriented climate change curriculum content for General Education.
Career readiness climate instruction: Establish “Climate in the Disciplines” program to support the development of upper-level, career-oriented climate courses in as many academic programs as possible.
Research opportunities: Support student learning opportunities connected with faculty research and creative activities related to climate change.
Engagement opportunities: Support student learning opportunities connected with climate engagement through co-curricular programming.
