Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
This number is an underestimate of the continuing education opportunities offered by GW. Each school offers a number of continuing education courses and programs, many of which are related to sustainability. For example the GW Law School offers many day long opportunities for legal professionals to earn continuing education credits, as does the School of Public Health. These programs were not catalogued for this submission because of the decentralized nature of a large university.
