Center for Sustainability

 
Sustainability is gaining acceptance as a value proposition within many industries. Our mission is to educate professionals and community members on how to implement the best sustainable practices.

More

Continuing education programs teach participants the latest trends in sustainability and how to make a career within it. Topics explore how to use sustainable design practices to drive innovation and grow a business.

Are Our Programs Right for You?
Participants are those looking to expand their skills into sustainable practices, and professionals who would like to redirect their careers into sustainability. Courses are designed to serve municipal facility managers, contractors, city, state and federal employees, lawyers, engineers, designers, inspectors, consultants, project managers and those who work in water-related fields.

What to Expect
Programs are presented by practitioners who have demonstrated the benefits of sustainability on the bottom line of their companies.

The Center offers courses and certification in areas such as Water Technology and Sustainability for Business, launching with an in-depth, 6-week foundational course. Additional programs are continuing to be added that focus on critical, relevant sustainability issues.
