From fall 2011 through the 2018-2019 academic year the Office of Sustainability, in partnership with the Office of Leadership and Professional Development (OLPD), offered staff professional development opportunities on sustainability. The session, entitled Creating a More Sustainable Workplace, educated participants about Elon’s sustainability program and how they can be a Sustainability Leader in their office.
Participants were encouraged to take the information gained back to their departments/offices along with a Sustainable Workplace Assessment Tool. The Tool helped departments/offices identify their accomplishments and areas for improvement. This introductory session was included in an individual's Experiences Certificate provided by OLPD. Those who attended the session became part of the Sustainability Leaders group on campus.
The Faculty Fellow for Sustainability offers lunch and learn programs open to staff and faculty. They are usually led by a faculty or staff member knowledgeable on the given topic. In the 2018-2019 academic year, discussions included sustainable development in the local community and a book discussion on David Orr's book, Dangerous Years: Climate Change, the Long Emergency, and the Way Forward.
