Membership
From spring 2023 through winter 2024, the Working Group will engage with stakeholders across the campus to explore pathways, frameworks, and tools to deepen integration of sustainability across undergraduate programs of study. They will consult with faculty, students, and staff on the ways sustainability is already integrated into curriculum, opportunities and barriers for further development, and tools that could be helpful for faculty in this process. If you are interested in participating in these consultations, please reach out to abeloewe@uwaterloo.ca or any of the working group members below.
