| Please outline how your experience will meet your selected objectives? | 1. Students will learn about sustainability communities and resources on campus through Canvas materials, guest speaker presentations, and other opportunities for engagement. The final project, the Sustainability Philosophy and game plan, will ask students to identify a sustainability group (on- or off-campus) that they would like to engage with in future semesters. 2. Students will utilize Canvas tools, such as discussion boards and Kaltura, to introduce themselves digitally and participate in meaningful dialogues with their peers. They will network with the wider sustainability community on campus, including student clubs and Sustainable Campus programs, through guest speaker presentations (held via Zoom or Instagram Live). Finally, they will participate in a group discussion facilitated by the course instructors via Zoom. 3. With a broader understanding of sustainability as it relates to the environment, economy, and society, students will be well positioned to identify organizations relating to their interests within the FSU and Tallahassee community. They will be encouraged to find their niche in sustainability and reach out to groups who are focused on that particular interest. They will have access to Sustainable Campus resources uniquely tailored for the course, and the instructors will be able to connect them with campus and community partners, groups, and opportunities. 4. Through participation in this Engage 100 course, students will have a better understanding of their personal relationship to sustainability. The course is divided into two main learning tracks, Changemaking and Mythbusting. In the Changemaking sections, students will gain practical knowledge that will help them change their personal habits to live a more sustainable lifestyle. In the Mythbusting section, students will think critically about sustainability messaging in today's society and analyze advertising, social media, and news sources. This will prepare them for similar types of investigations in their academic and professional careers. Students will be exposed to a wide variety of sustainability topics, which will expand their perspectives and expand their ideas of careers in the sustainability sector. Finally, the course will hold students accountable for discussion board post participation and meeting attendance. This will help students develop professional skills such as time management, collaboration, and communication. 5. The final assignment, Sustainability Philosophy, will challenge students to think critically about how sustainability will impact their personal, academic, and professional lives. Students will be asked to align their personal sustainability values with future engagement at FSU. Specifically, they will be tasked with identifying a sustainability group on- or off-campus that they plan to join in future semesters as a volunteer, intern, or other type of position. |
