Sustainability Passport Program
A brief description of the employee educators program (1st program):
The Sustainability Passport Program strives to advance a culture of sustainability at Colgate by offering and supporting engaging educational programming for employees. This professional development program creates better environmental stewards and advocates for sustainability on campus further supporting our sustainability and carbon neutrality goals. Additionally, the program assists employees looking to meet the sustainability behavioral competency as highlighted in Colgate’s job description update that can be highlighted during the employee's annual review. Elements of the Passport Program include 6-week courses (Foundations of Sustainability), one-time lunch and learn programs, and a "credit-based" program for participation in sustainability-oriented educational events/lectures on campus. Employees served by this program include offices that pursued and achieved green office certification.
Through these programs, participants create groups within their departments to address sustainability-related issues and create change within their department or division. Representatives from this program educate their peers with the intent to implement sustainability in various departments on campus.

Foundations of Sustainability Course (a hallmark program of Colgate University's Sustainability Passport Program)
A six-week interactive discussion course that explores the principles and practice of sustainability at Colgate and beyond. The program is designed to be fun, educational, and interactive. A community-building course that provides faculty and staff the opportunity to discuss a variety of sustainability issues and personal reflections of those issues. Ultimately, creates sustainability “fellow-travelers” through an understanding of complex environmental, social, and political issues related to sustainability through shared feelings and experiences.
During the summer months, the group meets weekly to discuss an aspect or topic on sustainability based on short readings and articles. Action items are discussed and behavior change is encouraged.
This is a program facilitated by the Colgate Office of Sustainability and funded by our sustainability and climate action fund. Employees are provided lunch, as the discussions take place over the lunch hour.
The intent of the Sustainability Passport Program is to create a culture of sustainability so that Colgate employees become continual advocates for sustainability on campus.
