Professional Certificate in Campus Sustainability Leadership

As we stand at a critical moment in Earth’s history, colleges, universities, and other institutions must play a critical role in developing innovative practices for sustainable systems, campuses, and communities.

Distinguish yourself by earning a Professional Certificate in Campus Sustainability Leadership in one week this summer. Bring about change through transformative, financially sustainable innovations at your institution and help your campus become a sustainability model.

Program benefits include:

  • The opportunity to focus on this important challenge

  • The chance to learn from leaders in the field

  • UVM’s physical location, size, and natural assets, like Vermont’s Green Mountains, New York’s Adirondack Mountains, Lake Champlain, and surrounding farms, forests, streams, and rivers

Although creating a sustainable future represents a profound design challenge, it’s also an exciting opportunity to collectively describe a vision for the future of our campuses, the nation, and the world.

Businesses and organizations of all types and sizes seek leaders who can help shift their practices to support sustainability. Communities need citizens prepared to help develop real solutions for the challenges they face. Are you prepared?
