A brief description of how the employee educators are selected (1st program):
This is a "grassroots" initiative - so many of the team members are self-selected. The Green Teams vary in size from 5 members in one department to college-wide initiatives that involve a dozen teams with 5-8 people in each team, such as is the case with CALS Green. In a few units, leadership in the unit has nominated people to the teams.
Teams currently are active in the following areas:
Campus Life Green Team
College of Agriculture and Life (CAL's) Green Team
Human Ecology Green Team
Weill Cornell Medical College Green Team
Cornell Outdoor Education Green Team
Facilities Services Sustainable Computing Team
Dept of Plant and Soil Sciences Green Team
Johnson School Green Team
None
A brief description of the formal training that the employee educators receive (1st program):
The Sustainability Office’s strategy for staff engagement has been to support the development of Green Teams (green ambassadors) in different units who express interest. This past fall, a member of the central sustainability office hosted a meeting for all Green Teams as a Green Team Roundtable. This roundtable served to start sharing "best practices" across the campus. More roundtables are in the works along with leadership development workshops. We plan to create a listserv this summer for all the green team members we contacted in the fall and start sending out weekly green office tips.
