College of Sustainability
Introduction
Dalhousie's College of Sustainability provides an interdisciplinary forum for collaborative teaching and learning to address global issues in sustainability. Core Sustainability instructors and professors cross-appointed from many Dalhousie departments are joined by guest speakers from business, government and community groups to collaborate with students in energetic, problem-based courses and community-based experiential learning opportunities. Teaching is integrated with a broad range of existing Dalhousie degrees and programs, providing a rigorous disciplinary basis for responsive, issues-oriented study. The continual flow of individual students, teachers and community leaders through the College creates an ongoing exchange of ideas, expertise and passions. The College provides a common place at the centre of the Dalhousie community for the study of sustainability-based problems, and hosts an exciting range of public lectures, seminars and other activities.
