Wake Forest University faculty members are invited to enhance their teaching by participating in the Magnolias Curriculum Project taking place May 20 -21, 2026. The workshop will explore how you can meaningfully integrate sustainability—broadly defined—into your courses.

Although the workshop starts by taking a close look at Wake Forest and the larger Piedmont region, we invite participants to engage in local-to-global comparisons. No prior experience with sustainability-related issues in the classroom or in research is necessary, and faculty at all ranks and career stages are welcome.

Following the workshop, faculty participants prepare discipline-specific course materials on their own over the summer. Participants will receive a stipend of $500 upon completion of a new or revised syllabus. Over 130 Wake Forest faculty have participated in the program since it started in 2012.

Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis beginning March 16.
