Solving the interconnected complex problems that pervade our social, environmental, economic, and health systems requires concerted change. To achieve the lasting impact necessary for true change to occur, sustainability needs to be holistically integrated throughout an academic program, leveraging the knowledge of instructors to create a more sustainability-literate population.
