SUSTAINABILITY COURSE GUIDE Winter 2014
Sustainability Course Guide, Winter 2014 | v.II | n.2
Sustainability Course Guide was created by: PowerSave Campus in collabora on with Sustainability Manager Meaghan Smith. Winter 2014
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 defini on. However, for the purpose of this project we referred to the most widely quoted defini on of sustainability provided by the United Na ons. They view sustainability as “mee ng the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future genera ons to meet their own needs.” This compiled list of sustainable courses represents the courses that teach concepts rela ng 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 Green Campus team has exci ng 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 star ng freshman year with their required general educa on courses. Theore cally, if a student were to finish this sustainable path throughout their stay at CPP, they would be rewarded with a cer ficate when they graduated signifying that they are well educated in sustainability concepts. In addi on, 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 iden fy approved sustainable courses by recognizing the green leaf icons used throughout this course guide next to the course tle on the CPP online catalog. The next sustainability course guide will be for Spring 2014.
