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.
