and most of all, BEHAVIOR CHANGE!

Areas as of possible sible focus for behavi vior change e towar ard d campus us sustain tainab ability: ility: Energy Use Water Use Landfill Waste & Food Waste Transportation to/from campus + Other (e.g. food choice, consumer choice)

• Prof. Ca

Calla lla Schmidt midt, Environmental Science: Why do we care about environmental sustainability? What’s at stake?

What is a design challenge? You are presented with a problem, and you work in a team to find a solution. What's the goal? To propose a solution that will help promote good habits

• f environmental sustainability here on our campus. Your

solution will likely be in the form of a concept proposal and development plan that addresses one of the priority areas identified. What kind of solution? The format is up to your team. Maybe it's a physical thing, or a smartphone app, or an educational campaign. No limit to the form your solution can take!

Who's on a team? Teams will be multi-disciplinary, representing at least two areas of study: arts/humanities, sciences/health care, and business/social science. Additionally each team will have a Psychology student – more info shortly. How are proposals judged? Your team's proposal will be judged on its feasibility, impact, and innovation by a panel of judges expert in the fields of sustainability, design and social impact. Are there prizes? Yes! Each member of the top three winning teams will receive a gift card prize, plus you will be able to meet with USF President Fr. Paul Fitzgerald in order to pitch your idea for possible implementation on

• campus. You can help make a lasting

difference at USF!

MORE ON TEAMS Interdisciplinary team composition is a goal , with team sizes of up to 5 accepted Proposals with one member from each of these three categories will have priority: Category A Arts, Architecture, Design, Humanities, Language, Literature Category B Computer Science, Kinesiology, Math, Nursing, Sciences Category C Business, Communication, Social Sciences

ROLE of Prof. Ed Munnich’s PSYCH STUDENTS:

• Your proposal must impact behavio

vior r change ge around environmental sustainability … How can you convince the judges that your idea will likely promote behavior change?

• Each team must include at least one Research Design

student from Prof. Munnich’s class as their behavior change consultant(s).

MORE ON JUDGING CRITERIA feasibilit sibility y – Is your proposed solution realistic in scope and scale? Does the background research and development proposal make sense? impact pact – Would the proposed solution affect behaviors and have real environmental or social impact at USF and beyond? Can it potentially change the world from here? innovat atio ion n – Is your proposed solution novel? Does it solve a problem or meet a challenge in a creative and original way? Is the solution itself sustainable?
