Campus Champion

When College officials went searching for a sustainability coordinator with leadership skills, solid “green” credentials and a deep understanding of both the campus and the community, they didn’t have to look far. They discovered that the co-founder and president of Sustainable Cortland, an environmental education group, was their own professor of science education Beth Shiner Klein. As part-time coordinator, Beth will guide campus efforts to increase energy efficiency, restructure curriculum and support student-based programs. She spent a spring sabbatical viewing sustainability models at other institutions and returned with great ideas. “We will serve as a hub, strengthening our programs through student, staff and community engagement,” she said.
