Does the institution make available training and/or other professional development opportunities in sustainability to all staff at least once per year?:
A brief description of the sustainability trainings and professional development opportunities available to staff :
In spring 2015, Missouri State University began offering a sustainability training to all employees. The first training, titled Sustainability – On Campus and at Home, provided employees with information about the sustainability programs and initiatives taking place at Missouri State University. Attendees learned simple strategies to conserve energy and water, reduce waste, and much more. By using these best practices they can help to create a more sustainable campus and home.
In addition, the following trainings are offered upon request:
1. Universal Waste - This covers proper management for recycling items like fluorescent bulbs, batteries, and electronic waste. This topic is presented to all Facilities Maintenance and Residence Life Maintenance personnel, but the sessions are open to all employees.
2. Lab Waste Management - Part of this training class involves waste minimization, which considers what people can do to generate less waste. This is presented each fall to (most) all of the Chemistry and Biomedical Science graduate assistants and some faculty members, but the sessions are open to all interested employees.
