Faculty Voices

For those interested in incorporating Curriculum Integration into their assessments, we invite you to look at Spotlight Three: Assessments & Mapping, a helpful peer-to-peer resource developed by members of the Faculty of Arts. This Thinkspace explores perspectives and tools for developing course assessments, integrating Reconciliation, EDI and Sustainability. Please take advantage of the website's opportunities to reflect and examine examples of assessment approaches.

Event Announcement

Celebrating Sustainability in Business

Join Seneca Business colleagues and students on Thurs. Nov. 30 at 12 p.m., Newnham Campus Building A (Starbucks area) for a Principles for Responsible Management Education (PRME) event, Celebrating Sustainability in Business. This includes an SDG Multimedia Contest awards ceremony. The awards ceremony is being organized by Professor Kerri Knudsen, who is also a member of Seneca Business PRME Team. 

The event aims to recognize and celebrate the outstanding achievements of our students who have demonstrated their knowledge of sustainability in business. Students were invited to create a poster, and share an innovative idea from another country that they think Canada and its businesses and entrepreneurs should implement to reduce, reuse or repurpose plastics. For more information, please visit the PRME SDG Multimedia Contest page.
