Description: |
This unique online professional certificate program leverages the combined strengths of Ithaca College's School of Business, Roy H. Park School of Communications, Department of Environmental Studies and Science, and our campus Sustainability Initiative which was awarded the 2008 Campus Leadership Award by the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education.
The Professional Certificate in Sustainability Leadership is designed for practitioners who want to improve their skills and knowledge of "best practices" in order to lead effective sustainability initiatives in their university, corporation, community, or municipality. The program covers core areas of sustainability practice and social entrepreneurship. Topics covered are immediately relevant to your career, providing concepts and skills necessary for you to:
* Engage stakeholders to make decisions and plan activities that advance your organization’s green initiatives
* Develop sustainability an organizational purpose
* Design marketing and communication strategies that effectively communicate sustainability as your organization's purpose and practice
* Establish the economic and social `return` on investment (ROI) of sustainability initiatives to motivate your organization to expand its efforts
* Integrate sustainability into your business operations
Each online seminar provides practical tools and advice, as well as giving you the theoretical underpinning and professional language needed to more effectively explain and defend your strategic decisions.
Seminars are facilitated by sustainability experts, providing you with access to leaders in the field. Each seminar is a three-week experience requiring about 12-15 hours of work, including readings and participation in online discussions. The online “anytime” format gives you the flexibility to fit seminars into your busy schedule.
