🌟 We wrapped up an incredible Day Two at the #AASHE Sustainability Education Forum! Aditi Garg's session on "Empowering Sustainable Futures: Integrating AI in Sustainability Education" sparked discussions on the innovative use of AI to enhance sustainability education, literacy, and action. 📚 In the afternoon, Rebecca Watts Hull, Casandra Coin-Sweeney, and Tyra Byers presented "Reaching Beyond the Choir: Open Access Resources for Scaling Up Sustainability Across the Curriculum," offering valuable resources and real-world examples for faculty to integrate sustainability into their disciplines. 🔍 Open space discussions covered topics like using AI to assess sustainability, connecting sustainability to other disciplines, and experiential learning's impact on mental health. The conversations were enlightening and forward-thinking. Thank you to all the participants for making the 2024 Forum such an inspiring event! We can't wait to see how you'll implement these insights and drive sustainability forward on your campuses. 🚀 #SustainabilityEducationForum #Sustainability #HigherEducation #OpenSpaceTechnology #SustainabilityLeadership
