341st New Thing - Signed Up for a Sustainability Class


As an alumni of DU, I receive email communications about events, activities, and education opportunities. I received an email a while back about a sustainability class being offered in the fall. The email was from Natural Capitalism Solutions about a Sustainability Leadership and Implementation Certificate Course offered for 6 total days between 9/28/12-12/15/12 for $3,500. It is the leading sustainability certificate program that will help students gain the knowledge and skills needed to implement an effective and profit-enhancing sustainability program in their organization. Through this course, participants will gain a deep understanding of sustainability frameworks, while also learning the practical leadership and implementation skills needed to put an effective sustainability program in place. As a final deliverable, participants will develop and present a set of strategic sustainability initiatives for their organization, in addition to initial goals and implementation strategies. Upon program completion, participants will receive a Certificate in Sustainability Leadership and Implementation. To make sure your company’s success is publicly recognized, CORE will interview the company representative 6 months after completing the program and will feature your success story on their website. In addition to learning from the dynamic facilitators Hunter Lovins and Scott McLagan, you will also build strong relationships with some of the leading sustainable companies in Colorado—past attendees include Chipotle, White Wave, DaVita, Boulder Community Hospital, Eco-Products, Snooze, Hunter Douglas, and more.

Program Participants Receive:
  • Access to some of the world’s best resources in graduate level business education and leadership development
  • Practical leadership and implementation skills needed to put an effective sustainability program in place
  • Increased visibility into areas of personal strength and insight into potential areas for growth as a leader
  • In-depth understanding of sustainability frameworks

Class starts on Friday, so I'll tell you how it went!

The show aired on ABC from January 26, 1976, to May 10, 1983 and starred Penny Marshall as Laverne De Fazio and Cindy Williams as Shirley Feeney. They were roommates who worked in a fictitious Milwaukee brewery called "Shotz Brewery". The show was a spin-off from Happy Days, as the two lead characters were originally introduced on that series as acquaintances of Fonzie.
