With courses and programs in diverse areas like energy resources, earth systems, human-environment interactions, weather and climate, and materials, our students are well-positioned to solve the challenges of creating a more sustainable future. Across the college, at both the graduate and undergraduate levels, we’re exploring a wide range of topics through a sustainability lens to provide students with a holistic perspective.
We know there’s more work to do in this space, and we’re eager to tackle that. EMS faculty are dedicated to providing students with an educational experience centered on our traditional disciplines but against the backdrop of our contemporary sustainability and climate challenges. We’re doing this in our classrooms, our service, engagement opportunities, and more. Join us as we work together toward a more sustainable future.
Many EMS instructors have done so and have shared their work as Open Educational Resources which freely available for you to use, reuse, revise, remix, and redistribute under a Creative Commons license! To find these resources and more, check out ROAM - the University's Repository for Open and Affordable Materials, which contains high-quality teaching materials written by Penn State instructors. ROAM is searchable, enabling you to locate resources easily. While you are visiting ROAM, be sure to take a look at the collection of videos featuring sustainability-focused site visits from a May 2023 faculty-led trip to Australia and New Zealand – these would be a great resource for introducing sustainable business practices in your course. You can learn more about this collection in the Penn State News >>
