Bridging Disciplines to offer an Interdisciplinary Certificate of Study in Sustainable Food Systems
Type of Session
Poster Presentation
Abstract
Every semester, new courses are introduced within the curriculum offered at Northern Illinois university. Some rather unique course offerings along with good timing and lots of collaboration allowed for the proposal of a new Certificate of Undergraduate Study in Sustainable Food Systems. The certificate brings together faculty and students from the College of Liberal Arts & Sciences and the College of Health & Human Sciences to offer an interdisciplinary understanding of what goes into creating and maintaining sustainable food systems. The poster will present the information as an infographic that shows how one decision to construct food gardens on campus spurred this additional curricular opportunity for the regional community.
