Standing and Ad Hoc Sustainability Committees (Sustainability, Transportation, Carbon Offset Guidance, etc.)
A brief description of the employee educators program (1st program):
These are committees made up of staff, faculty and students that are organized around sustainability topics. They each conduct their own outreach and training programs related to their topic (e.g. Bike Commuter Challenge from the Transportation Committee). Their programs can include tabling, events, competitions or the like.
Many of these events are coordinated by the Office of Sustainability and conducted by employees trained by the Office of Sustainability to deliver the appropriate content, both regionally and specific to Loyola and our sustainability offerings.
