ReThink Award: Inspiring Students to Think Differently about Climate Change

Anneliese Schultz – “eco-Italian” professor

The ReThink award sponsored by the UBC student group Common Energy recognizes instructors across our campus for incorporating elements of sustainability into their courses and programs. The first, and March recipient of the ReThink award is Anneliese Schultz, an “eco-Italian” professor. Anneliese incorporates eco-Italian into all of her classes. As an example, she uses “green” vocabulary and verbs that relate to things such as energy conservation, recycling and local eating.

Common Energy gives out the ReThink award once a month. If you are aware of a professor that meets the criteria, please send an email to Common Energy.

      Grazie, Russ -
      my students wrote Green Plans for their last composition, and reading them made me take heart at all these earth ambassadors moving out into the world…
      Ciao ciao,
      Anneliese
