Description
Established by the Class of 1963 in 2013, the fund supports innovative teaching and learning about sustainability at Williams College. It encourages faculty to explore sustainable systems through cultural, economic, political, scientific, and other perspectives so students can understand sustainability across disciplines.
Curriculum development that directly strengthens student learning has the highest priority. Supported work may include field trips, invited speakers, new labs or exercises, instructional technology, senior thesis support, and course development. The fund also supports co-curricular projects that engage students outside formal courses, including faculty-mentored research or internships, faculty-student conference travel, and public events.
