A brief description of the employee educators program (1st program):
Learning Connections Conference (LCC) is an annual employee professional development event. The Office of Sustainability hosts workshops around different sustainability themes in this conference. At LCC 2023, we presented three workshops: 1. How do I Relate? Integrating Sustainability into Academic Programing. 2. Dirt, Bugs, Plants and Messy Hands: The importance of biodiversity for a healthy SLC. 3. Land-based Education- Behaviour, Sustainability, and Indigenous Ways of Knowing and Being (in collaboration with the college's Indigenous Team).
The workshops include an in-depth overview of the topic and resources for educators to take back and apply to their own course work. Our biodiversity workshop also included a hands-on planting experience focusing on native plant species.
A brief description of the employee educators program’s target audience (1st program):
Staff and faculty interested in incorporating sustainability themes into their coursework were our target audience. Staff members intersted in furthering their knowledge of sustainability issues and/or introducing these themes to their departments also benefited from participating in these workshops.

A brief description of the employee educators program (2nd program):
The UN SDGs Microsite is a platform created by the Sustainability team intended for faculty use and program planning. The microsite's aim is to help educators (and course planners) to develop a baseline understand of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and to understand how these can be applied to their course content.
Part of SLC's "Program Planning, Development, and Renewal" is to offer sustainability-focused and sustainability-inclusive courses in all programs. The microsite displays each SDG and it can be clicked for more details such as: full description, infographic, and college example(s) on how the goal is being implemented in a class environment at SLC.
A brief description of the employee educators program’s target audience (2nd program):
All faculty, especially those unfamiliar with the UN SDGs framework and/or how to implement the sustainable goals in their curriculum.
