The Institute for Sustainability, Energy, and Environment (iSEE) has named its largest and most diverse group of faculty and instructors to be 2021-22 Levenick iSEE Teaching Sustainability Fellows, including Education Policy, Organization and Leadership assistant professor Samantha Lindgren.
Funded by a generous endowment from Illinois Alumnus Stuart L. Levenick and his wife Nancy J. Levenick, this third cohort of faculty and teachers — a record 12 of them — from across the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus will incorporate sustainability into existing classes or create entirely new courses built around sustainability elements.
Associate Director for Education & Outreach Gillen D’Arcy Wood said applications continue to increase each year for the Levenick Teaching Sustainability program — and academic units from across campus continue to show interest in adding sustainability thinking into the curriculum.
“The courses to be developed by this cohort range in focus from sustainability in the Arab world, to carbon capture technology, to green tourism,” Wood said. “Levenick Fellows will meet throughout the year to trade ideas on sustainability education and to benefit from the educational resources and expertise at iSEE.
“Once again, we’d like to thank Stuart and Nancy Levenick for the generous donation. Our Institute’s goal is to incorporate sustainability into as many classes as possible, and we are grateful that we can make progress each year through this program.”
