Academic Engagement | Sustainability at UMN

Faculty and students talking in a classroom

Research & Curriculum

The Office of Sustainability invites professors and instructors to propose academic projects aligned with our 2023 Climate Action Plan and 2024 Climate Resilience Plan (coming soon). This offers an avenue for faculty to engage students in research and learning experiences that contribute to the goals outlined in these plans. Through collaborative efforts with University staff, students can explore and address pressing challenges while advancing sustainability efforts on campus and in the UMN Twin Cities community.
