- developed a survey of student interest in sustainability education
- developed a student sustainability literacy assessment
- provided task force informal input regarding current sustainability curriculum, co-curriculum, and academic advising
- provided task force input into and feedback about proposed new programs
- developed proposed alternative definition of “sustainability in the curriculum.”
