If sustainability professional development and training opportunities for staff are made available or supported, provide at least one of the following:
Sustainability staff provide trainings (30-45 minutes) to all custodial and dining services staff at the start of the year. Trainings include campus sustainability goals, progress towards achieving those goals and what staff can do in their respective areas to contribute.
The 100 faculty and staff who participate in the CSA Rebate Program are required to attend two food education events, which consist of cooking classes, gardening classes, farm tours, food films, book discussions and more.
Additionally, all staff receive monthly sustainability updates during staff meetings about a variety of sustainability topics. These may not qualify as formal trainings because they are only 15 minutes long.
Every year, all staff are encouraged to take half a day off of work to participate in Staff Day. Most years there are a variety of sustainability related tracks offered, including things like cooking classes, gardening classes and renewable energy tours.
