This talk will describe chemistry classes with curriculums focused on sustainability and civic engagement.  These classes include a wide variety of levels and audiences: chemistry in society (for non-majors), general chemistry, environmental chemistry (for sophomore-senior majors), freshman writing and research seminars, and special topics courses.  Ideas for these classes resulted from four week-long faculty development workshops, held over three summers, focused on incorporating sustainability and civic engagement into and across the curriculum at Transylvania University.  Consequently, this talk will also focus on effective tactics for coaching faculty members�in chemistry, other sciences, and non-sciences�to incorporate sustainability themes into their classes.
