A brief description of the sustainability trainings and professional development opportunities available to staff :
The University of California, Santa Barbara organizes the annual California Higher Education Sustainability Conference, a multi-day, inter-campus program that offers workshops and guest speakers that discuss campus sustainability efforts and goals. The 10th California Higher Education Sustainability Conference was hosted at the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2013.
Staff are also invited to attend the annual Central Coast Sustainability Summit where local municipalities and community organizations get together to share best practices and discuss common issues in energy, transportation, waste, and water management. The annual regional sustainability summit is free and open to all campus staff.
Sustainability is incorporated into a wide variety of other professional development programs as well, such as the Student Affairs annual divisional meeting. Sustainability coordinators also frequently offer guest lectures in departmental staff meetings and events.
