The University of British Columbia (UBC) and the University of Washington (UW) are pleased to present the second annual Summer Institute in Sustainability (SIS). This one-week intensive professional development program explores how to move the sustainability agenda in your organization to a whole new level.
The SIS is designed for those taking a leadership role in developing policy, creating plans and implementing sustainability projects in large businesses, colleges, universities, and local, state and provincial governments.
The Institute provides participants with the perspectives and practical skills necessary to make sustainability the foundation of an organization’s on-going operations.
The program consists of seminars by sustainability experts and practitioners from academic and industry, applied case studies and guided field excursions to sustainability projects; applied workshops focusing on sustainability planning, open space sessions that allow participants to address their own issues and ideas, and opportunities for networking.
