Register for classes at the UC Learning Center startig in the Fall of 2022.
Last year's program is below for reference:
YOU can participate in the program "almost" 100% remotely.
Examine sustainability through multiple lenses and develop knowledge and strategies for building a more inclusive and sustainable campus. Current staff, faculty, and graduate students are eligible to participate. To complete the certificate, participants must complete the five core courses and one elective within two academic years.
We listened to you, adjusted the program, and we are happy to be offering a hybrid model this year, mostly remote!
The majority of classes are being offered via ZOOM, including the first two offerings of the Sustainability in the UC (this past October 6 and coming up December 1). The third offering of this course might be a hybrid version, in person and via ZOOM. All other courses are via ZOOM.
New requirement and flexibility make the program more accessible. Join us!
