SUSTAINABILITY COURSE GUIDE Fall 2015
What is Sustainability? Throughout the sustainability course guide we refer to courses either as sustainability focused or sustainability related. But what does “sustainability” really mean? The term sustainability can mean many different things; there is no one, simple definition. However, for the purpose of this project we referred to the most widely quoted definition of sustainability provided by the United Nations. They view sustainability as “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” This compiled list of sustainable courses represents the courses that teach concepts relating to or focusing on sustainability, chosen by us, reviewed by professors and approved by department heads.

Looking Forward...
This is just the beginning of a great resource for the students at Cal Poly Pomona. The PowerSave Campus team has exciting goals for the future sustainability course guides. We are currently working with Academic Affairs to create a course guide that provides students with a “sustainability pathway” throughout their college years. The guide would provide a path filled with approved sustainable courses that students could take starting freshman year with their required general education courses. Theoretically, if a student were to finish this sustainable path throughout their stay at CPP, they would be rewarded with a certificate when they graduated signifying that they are well educated in sustainability concepts. In addition, the PowerSave Green Campus team is hoping to merge the content of the course guide with the convenience of Cal Poly Pomona’s online catalog. Students would be able to identify approved sustainable courses by recognizing the green leaf icons used throughout this course guide next to the course title on the CPP online catalog. The next sustainability course guide will be for Winter 2016.
PowerSave Campus Contact Information The Alliance to Save Energy’s PowerSave Campus Program empowers college students to be tomorrow’s energy efficiency leaders. Currently on 16 universities and colleges and employing over 75 interns each year, the program engages students in building pathways to green careers, realizing measurable energy savings, infusing energy and energy efficiency concepts into academic curricula, and promoting energy efficiency awareness. PowerSave Campus interns work closely with faculty, staff, administrators, and other students to engage them in energy efficiency projects.
