The program, designed by the Northwest Earth Institute and facilitated by Shelley Green of the Arkansas Earth Institute, 鈥渋nspires innovation and creates alignment between employee actions and organizational objectives.鈥� Weekly topics included energy use, waste reduction, transportation, water conservation, and food choices. 糖心Vlog传媒LR faculty and staff who completed the course are Chuck Werninger, director of Printing Services; Micah Sukany, library technician at the Ottenheimer Library; Linda Stipsky, reference assistant at the Ottenheimer Library; Joan Reed, program coordinator in nursing; Leslie Coop, chemistry lab manager; Suzette Probst, assistant business manager in purchasing; Vince Rogers, plant safety in Physical Plant; Lee Davis, warehouse manager in Facilities Management; and Nancy Landrum, associate professor of management. 鈥淭he word 鈥榮ustainable鈥� is a word I understand in more ways then I knew before the class,鈥� Probst said. 鈥淭o recycle and be green is a way of life, not just something we do because it is the right thing to do. To sustain our way of life we need to change our way of living. I learned and continue to learn. The class was great.鈥� The 鈥淪ustainable Systems at Work鈥� discussion course was sponsored on campus by the 糖心Vlog传媒LR Sustainability Committee.
