    Transforming Curriculum: Sustainability Across the Curriculum Program

    The Sustainability Across the Curriculum Program, formerly known as the Penstemon Project, supports faculty to integrate sustainability across the curriculum in every school and department at SCU. The program offers funding and training for the faculty, strengthening our campus culture of sustainability. Sustainability Across the Curriculum also keeps an inventory of all courses that include sustainability, building our reputation as a leader in higher education.
