     "Enabling Undergraduates to Acquire the Sustainability Mindset" 

    I will describe my journey to get closer to my own sustainability mindset and how I have designed an introductory sustainability course to try to do the same for undergraduates.  Changing my syllabus over time deepened my understanding of what the mindset can be.  I can now better appraise activities in the course by classifying them into those that contribute, respectively, to Knowing, Doing, and Being.
