The Global 3D sessions provide a platform to discuss, discover and develop synergies on specific topics of interest to faculty and staff. This session will offer an introduction to the academic opportunities associated with the United Nation's sustainable development goals and a chance to weigh in on their development. It will include a brief overview of the SDG course inventory created by Seth Murray and an undergraduate student research team and an introduction to the Academics Working Group of the Sustainability Council and their objectives by Christopher Galik, co-chair of the group.
