Kaniewski Story Idea #3

For my third story, I am writing about the Magnolias Curriculum Project created in 2012 by the Wake Forest University Office of Sustainability. Their initiative helps faculty by exploring ways they can integrate sustainability into their syllabi. The two-day workshop each May offers opportunities to extend research and teaching horizons across disciplines and create new networks with fellow colleagues. Following the workshop, faculty participants prepare discipline-specific course materials on their own over the summer. They reconvene in early August to discuss their insights and experiences.

For my sources, I am interviewing six professors, recommended by Dedee Johnston, who recently participated in the Magnolias Curriculum Project. Also, I will interview an assortment of students, who took and did not take classes with the added climate change component, about their opinions of the project and overall feelings of climate change.
