The CTLS is partnering with the Sustainability Action Fund (SAF) to deliver a sustainability-focused version of the Winter Teaching and Learning Festival. The Power of Curriculum Festival will offer a blend of traditional and innovative ways for participating faculty to explore the intersection between integrating sustainability content into their current courses or developing new courses, selecting appropriate pedagogies and enhancing their teaching.
Enjoy a complimentary lunch made of local organic and vegetarian dishes. (Please remember to register for lunch)
