Provide Training and Development Opportunities
It is important to provide training for campus leaders at all levels. In addition, it is important that there are training and learning opportunities about climate issues for all campus faculty, staff, and students.

The Climate Training Work Group identified existing climate training opportunities, assessed the need for additional opportunities, and proposed additional training and development activities (see Climate-Related Workshops list - PDF). Staff in the Provost's Office will work with other campus organizations to develop training workshops for campus leaders at all levels, and disseminate information about workshops already under development or in existence.
