CU: Sustainability training program to be offered ($$$) online
Jul 30th
The University of Colorado Boulder this week began offering its sustainability training and non-credit certificate program entirely online, making the option available to participants across the nation.
CU-Boulder’s Sustainable Practices Program offers seminars and two non-credit certificates in business sustainability and community sustainability. The curriculum is designed to help professionals meet the growing need for “green” skills and credentials in the public and private work sectors.
“Our programs are grounded in the quality sustainability leadership that people expect from CU-Boulder,” said program director Kelly Simmons. “We’re excited that the expansion to online opens the opportunity for participants in Colorado and beyond, giving them access to thought-leading research and practices taught by CU-Boulder faculty and industry experts.”
The Sustainable Practices Program’s online curriculum, streamlined with the help of Kevin Krizek, curriculum director and CU-Boulder environmental design professor, combines video, presentations, discussions and live student-faculty interaction. Topics range from organizational change to zero waste.
The six-week seminars may be taken individually or in a series of four to earn one of the non-credit certificates. Program tuition ranges from $2,000 to $6,500 plus a registration fee.
The six-year-old Sustainable Practices Program has offered dozens of live, location-based trainings to hundreds of participants from undergraduate students to working professionals. The program, one of the first in the nation, is managed by the CU Environmental Center in partnership with Chicago-based All Campus, a student enrollment services firm that helps universities increase the visibility of their online programs and facilitates the successful recruitment of students.
For more than half a century, CU-Boulder has been a leader in climate and energy research, interdisciplinary environmental studies and sustainable practices. In 2009, it was ranked the top green campus in the nation by Sierra magazine. In 2010, it was the first campus to attain a Gold rating under the Sustainability Tracking, Assessment and Ratings System. The campus has a number of LEED Platinum- and Gold-rated buildings. Also, CU-Boulder’s student-run Environmental Center, which manages the Sustainable Practices Program, is among the nation’s oldest, largest and most accomplished entities of its kind.

Boulder police: Teen girl with special needs missing
Jul 23rd
Police searching for missing 19-year-old special needs female
Boulder police are asking the public for help in locating a 19-year-old Hispanic female who was last seen in the 1500 block of Yarmouth St. around 2:15 p.m. today, July 23, 2013.
The missing woman is Erin Huss, who functions at about the level of a 7-year-old child. She may not seem developmentally disabled upon first contact. Huss gets lost easily.
Erin Huss, 19, is missing.
A witness at the location where Huss was last seen says she got into an older red pick-up truck. The truck was small with an open bed (no camper shell). There are garden tools in the back of the truck. The driver is described as a male in his forties, with glasses and a mustache, who was wearing a black shirt and white pants.
Huss is 5’6” tall and weighs 125 pounds. She has distinctive hair coloring, which is black with streaks of blonde. Her eyes are brown and she was wearing a blue and white sailor-style shirt with dark blue jeans and flip flops. She may also be wearing black and silver over-the-ear type headphones.
Police are actively looking for Huss because she has been known to take rides from strangers. She’s disappeared in the past, and police don’t have any information about what may have occurred during those occasions.
Huss is from Alamosa, but lives in Golden.
Anyone who knows where Huss is or where she might be located is asked to contact Boulder police at 303.441.3333.
