About CESIF
The MIT Environmental Solutions Initiative’s Climate, Environment, and Sustainability Infusion Fellowship (CESIF) launched in February 2023 to empower faculty across MIT to cross their disciplinary boundaries and embed topics of climate science, the environment, and sustainability (CES) into the regular undergraduate curriculum.
By infusing CES (climate, environment, and sustainability) topics into regular undergraduate subjects, MIT students will be introduced to the critical challenges facing society today and the pathways toward planetary sustainability tomorrow.
The Fellowship will have a duration of two years, continuing until the spring of 2025. It will provide faculty with funding and opportunities to:
- Build community in a cohort of faculty and instructors across disciplines
- Engage in monthly meetings to learn about innovative CES content knowledge and pedagogical methodologies, work with CES area experts and speakers, workshop new instructional material, and get feedback from peers and ESI staff and visiting experts
- Work closely with peer fellows for additional accountability and feedback
- Have access to a shared online platform for instructional support
