Overview: Increasingly, colleges and universities are expected to take a more proactive approach to managing their environmental impacts across a range of disciplines, such as energy and waste management, transportation, and procurement. In lieu of the traditional model - delegation of specific duties to existing members of staff - institutions of higher education are hiring individuals with broad knowledge and expertise in environmental sustainability (often called "Greening") issues. For this reason, the number of sustainability professionals in the higher education sector has steadily risen over the past few years. This paper is designed to help one hire a sustainability professional or, for those smaller institutions without the resources to hire a full-time dedicated professional, identify candidates within the institution that can embrace the roles and responsibilities of a sustainability professional.
