A brief description of the institution’s program to support employee volunteering:
60% of faculty contracts are Instruction and then we can choose how to split the remaining 40% between Service (to school and community) and professional development. Many people choose to list their community service (e.g., Board membership). Numerous faculty develop community service components within sustainability focused curriculum. For example, in ecology and wildlife, and environment and sustainability classes, students go out and do habitat restoration projects with local land management agencies (BLM,USFS).
