ENVIR 480
SUSTAINABILITY STUDIO:
Water & Sustainability on Campus

Sustainability Studio is an exciting Program on the Environment course in applied sustainability, teaching analytical skills and tools for making change related to sustainability on the UW campus.

For Winter 2012, we will focus on water on campus and how it relates to sustainability – exploring how this institution uses water and creates stormwater, and how it might become more sustainable in its relationship to water.

The heart of the course is a quarter-long team project, developed and led by students, giving you the opportunity to practice your applied research and communication skills to make change on our campus.

[Course]: ESRM 320 Marketing and Management From a Sustainability Perspective

ESRM 320SON 13777TU/TH 5:30-7:50 PM ABOUT 320…For-profit companies and non-profit organizations use marketing and human resources to create and deliver products, services, and ideas. This course explores: 1) business practices that are aligned with environmental stewardship and social responsibility standards; 2) the concepts and models of a market orientation; 3) how markets are researched and targeted, and products positioned, to meet consumer needs; 4) creating and pricing products, developing distribution channels, and implementing promotion campaigns; 5) managerial and leadership skills and styles; 6) how companies motivate employees and develop human capital; and 7) methods for recruiting, selecting, training, and evaluating employees. * What does sustainability mean, and how is it manifested in business?Various definitions of sustainability have been used, but all share a common understanding that sustainability refers to integrating environmental, social responsibility, and financial/economic elements in order to meet the needs of people today without compromising Earth’s capacity to provide for future generations. Said another way, practicing sustainability involves balancing the three Ps: planet, people, and profits. Thank you.
