Kim J. Hartswick (Director, CUNY Baccalaureate for Unique and Interdisciplinary Studies) attended the Salzburg Global Seminar, “Greening the Minds: Universities, Climate Leadership, and Sustainable Futures,” in July 2009 to analyze the role higher education institutions play in reorienting learning and research to address the interdisciplinary challenges of climate change mitigation, adaptation, energy use, conservation issues, and sustainability education. Hartswick was a facilitator of a Thematic Group for faculty and a representative for CUNY Baccalaureate, the only program in the university in which students can pursue individualized bachelor degrees in areas of sustainability.
