A brief description of how the employee educators are selected (1st program):
A campus program that meets the EN 6 sustainability criteria would be the Business Partners Round Table Meeting. The purpose of the BPRT meeting is to educate staff in a peer to peer setting with formally designated employees. Information is disseminated to representatives from various departments across campus. The representatives in attendance are tasked with educating their departments, disseminating information to fellow employees, and implementing related programs. This meeting has been very successful in encouraging broader participation in sustainability initiatives, as well as the dissemination of broad sustainability messages. The BPRT meeting is open to anyone on campus, however, employee educators are primarily selected based on the role each holds in their department; those with the most influence to effect change in their department are recommended to participate in the meetings.

Previous Value:
The campus-wide Sustainability Steering Committee serves the entire campus. There are currently 21 members of the Committee, reflective of the sustainable areas of focus and includes representatives from the following organizations: Academics; Dining Services; Energy; Environmental Health & Safety; Landscape; Planning, New Construction, Renewal; Procurement; Recycle/Waste Management; Transportation; Water Conservation, and more. The Committee is charged with responsibility for assessing current sustainability practices for incorporation of best technology; recommending new methods/techniques for incorporating sustainability into operational activities and facilities design; partnering with the community we serve; and identifying and tracking critical performance indicators to keep sustainability practices and strategies on course. By selecting members from all major sustainable areas of focus on campus, the employee educators program works effectively in that Committee members from their respective departments representing major areas of focus attend Committee meetings on a regular basis, consisting of 2 meetings during fall semester, 2 meetings during spring semester, and 1 meeting during summer for a 1 and a half hour duration, and then can take the information and training provided during meetings back to their departments to share the info with all. The Committee is open to anyone campus-wide, and meeting minutes are posted online on the sustainability website for the entire campus to view. In addition to the core sustainability leadership team aiding in the knowledge and content discussed in the meetings and planning meeting agendas, on and off guest speakers are often asked to speak about topics that affect local, state, national, and global concepts and topics that assist in advancing campus sustainability goals.
