A brief description of the sustainability trainings and professional development opportunities available to staff :
A number of sustainability trainings are available to employees. The Tufts Eco-Ambassador program consists of a series of workshops on sustainability topics that are open and available to all employees on all Tufts campuses. The trainings cover topics such as recycling, water, energy, transportation, events, purchasing, and behavior change. The Office of Sustainability also frequently speaks at and attends meetings and trainings across the university to educate and train staff on sustainability topics. The TuftsRecycles! program and the Office of Sustainability also provide trainings to employees about recycling at Tufts. Additional trainings available to employees such as the "Foundation of Administrative Support at Tufts" training have sustainability components as well.
In addition to the more formal workshops and trainings, the Office of Sustainability also provides additional educational and development opportunities for staff, including field trips and film screenings. A number of sustainability-related lunch and learns and speaker series are held regularly on campus for staff, as well as students and faculty members.
