The Cataldo Project

The goal of the Cataldo Project is to provide students with a fundamental awareness and understanding of the importance of the natural environment to life, how all human activities affect the environment, and an ethic for responsible stewardship of the planet.

 

The Cataldo Project conducts workshops, seminars, and other programs to develop and augment the environmental knowledge and skills of higher education faculty, as well as to assist them in revising their courses to include sustainability concepts. Students receive broad, continuing and repeated exposure to sustainability concepts throughout their academic experience. The Project facilitates the process of faculty development by providing financial and intellectual support, as well as access to resources, information, and environmental experts.
