Description
The Class of 1963 Sustainability Fund is designed to encourage Williams College faculty to develop and implement innovative teaching and learning projects focused on sustainability. The fund supports initiatives that deepen student understanding of sustainability from cultural, economic, political, scientific, and other interdisciplinary perspectives. Priority is given to projects that enhance the curriculum and student learning, but co-curricular activities are also eligible.
Supported activities include curriculum development (such as new labs, field trips, instructional technology, and faculty-student collaborations), as well as co-curricular opportunities like research, internships, and public events. The fund aims to foster creative approaches that engage students with sustainability both inside and outside the classroom.
