Our office works in close conjunction with the Auburn Academic Sustainability Programs. The Academic Sustainability Programs focus on:

  • training students and faculty in the concepts and application of sustainability
  • expanding the incorporation of sustainability into the curriculum
  • fostering interdisciplinary sustainability research and
  • oversight, advisement, and administration of the Sustainability Minor.

Faculty seeking information on sustainability in curriculum and research may email Dr. Sarah Hamilton at srh0028@auburn.edu, or call 334.844.4360.
