A brief description of any internal sustainability professional development and training opportunities that the institution makes available to staff:

Sustainable Susquehanna is a faculty training program that is offered each spring to accepted faculty throughout the institution. The intention of the program is to help faculty meaningfully integrate sustainability – broadly defined – into their classrooms. Though we start by taking a close look at SUNY-Oneonta and Otsego County, we invite participants to engage in local/global comparisons. Campus faculty who have received training from the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education (AASHE) facilitate and catalyze discussion of a green curriculum and its integration and role in the broader community.

Participants receive an honorarium of $1000 upon completion of a new or revised syllabus (with the intent to teach the course within the year following participation). Participants also join in a fieldtrip and discussions that will offer opportunities to extend research and teaching horizons across disciplines and create new networks with fellow colleagues.
