Event Title
Poster: STEM Sustainability Initiative: Green Chemistry, Energy and the Environment
Location
Moakley Atrium
Start Time

Description
As sustainability issues become a focal point in a liberal arts education, there is an increasing need to educate all science students on practical approaches to identifying and solving key sustainability problems. A unique component of the BSC Center for Sustainability was support for a STEM Sustainability Initiative. The initiative has catalyzed meetings of STEM faculty (science, technology, engineering, math) to discuss common interests related to sustainability, and identify potential multidisciplinary collaborations. This poster will focus on two ongoing workshops: “Energy and the Environment,” and “Integrated Sustainability/Green Chemistry.” These workshops involve collaboration between STEM faculty, staff, and students to integrate sustainability into teaching, research, K-12 outreach, and departmental operations. Our goal is to prepare the next generation of creative, innovative and socially responsible scientists who will be the future teachers, researchers, government officials, and entrepreneurs contributing to a globally sustainable society.
