This past spring, the University introduced a new minor in response to widespread local and global concerns about sustainability and the environment. Springing from the efforts of undergraduate students led by their teaching assistant, Carla Jones, the global sustainability minor was officially offered to students in the spring of 2011. Even though the program aims to address the science behind improving our world, the program - and its relevance - spans across a multitude of disciplines, offering students a chance to fully engage with the challenges of tomorrow.
Although the minor is offered by the Architecture School, the governing body of the minor has representatives from the six undergraduate schools at the University.
