Teresa Sobiesczyk

Associate Professor, Sociology Department, The University of Montana

"UM's Green Thread movement inspires professors to incorporate vital

sustainability issues into their courses. It led me to develop new

courses related to sustainable development, and to apply for a Fullbright

award on Teaching and Curriculum Development in Sustainability.

I received the award and spent 10 months in 2012-13 at Can Tho University,

Vietnam, broadening the 'Green Thread' from Missoula to South Vietnam."

Cherie Peacock

Sustainability Director, The University of Montana

"Green Thread is an innovative workshop that that offers facutly a rare

interdisciplinary experience. Every year I am amazed how people

creatively infuse sustainability into their curriculum. I find their work

and passion inspiring."
