Campus Sustainability Jobs

Hmmm...interesting article about sustainability coordinator positions in universities and businesses. Some quotes:

"There's been a real blossoming of these types of programs," said Julian Dautremont-Smith, associate director of the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education. "It's really great seeing college campuses take the lead on this kind of stuff. It's an important role for them to play."

"You wouldn't think of not having accountants in the accounting office, right?" said Christopher Wells, an assistant professor of environmental studies at Macalester. "This is the same thing."

"It's important to have an advocate [on campus] for this kind of change," Goodnough said. "This position is a seat around the table. Someone to ask the questions, do the homework and find ways we can do things better."

As of now at Wes we have a Sustainability Committee but no position devoted solely to issues of sustainability on campus.
