A brief description of the sustainability trainings and professional development opportunities available to staff :
Sustainable Consultation of Office Practices (SCOOP) is a student group who provides consultation of office practices and assists offices in implementing reccommended practices related to sustainability. The group, which has operated on campus for five years, works with offices to implement changes across five areas:
Energy
Waste 7 Recycling
Procurement
Transportation
Employee Health & Wellness
Offices that have met certain criteria in these five areas, including commitments by staff related to behavior changes, are certified as 'Green Offices' and recognized by the campus.
In addition to the consultations, the group also provides brown bag lunches and workshops covering topics from improving indoor air quality with use of the indoor plants in the office to reducing waste in office functions to implementing lighting strategies in the office. The group works to inform, support, and connect campus staff with resources.
