University of Colorado's Environmental Center      

Kelly Simmons from the University of Colorado joined Renewable Now and spoke to us about the University of Colorado's excellent course selections on Sustainability. Kelly Simmons is the manager of the Sustainable Practices Program at The Environmental Center of the University of Colorado. The school is one of the first universities in the state. There are thirty thousand enrolled students there.

They are very well known for courses in sustainability both here and internationally. Her program is a training program aimed at working professionals.

The Environmental Center at the University of Colorado is funded by student fees.

Kelly's program, "Sustainable Practices," was originally offered as an academic program in the continuing educational department. For a host of reasons, the program was discontinued, but The Environmental Center took a keen interest in allowing Kelly to have offices in their building. The program Kelly offers takes the sustainable practices and skills that are available on campus and in the community of Boulder, Colorado and offers them as a training program to professionals around the country and around the world. Sustainability is one of the fastest growing career paths in the country, so Kelly offers professional development in sustainability as a course to help teach people in a new economy.University of Colorado  Sustainable Education.
