Getting Started in Greening Athletics Operations

Overview

What is the carbon footprint of your athletics operations?

Sustainability continues to be a buzzword on campuses, yet many athletics offices do not know where to begin with greening their operations. Compounding this problem, many campus sustainability officers are not experts in intercollegiate athletics operations.

Join us for a program that will describe ways to bridge these disparate campus operations and design workable, result-oriented approaches to environmentally sustainable athletic activities and facilities. The webcast will provide information on how to work with campus sustainability offices, tailor campus efforts to available resources, and maximize the community and public effects of green progress.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Athletic directors, assistant or associate athletic directors, coaches, sustainability officers, directors of sustainability initiatives, and other campus professionals charged with initiating sustainability programs at their institutions are all encouraged to attend. This program is best for institutions that are still in the foundational stages of developing a campus-wide or athletics sustainability plan and will be applicable to institutions with all levels of institutional resources and athletic programs.

Agenda

Learning Outcome:

Following this webcast, participants from both athletics and sustainability will be able to more effectively partner to green athletics operations.
