The program — called the Sustain ability Leadership Academy — will of fer 21 seminars, making it one of the most comprehensive Sustainability and professional development pro grams of its kind in the nation, ac cording to a program press release. Topics include "The Natural Step," "Eco-Effectiveness" and "Zero Waste;" the coursework will consider present economic problems and ways to achieve stability. These education seminars help provide people with the understanding, tools and techniques needed to make a business successful, accord ing to the release. The University Sustainability Leadership Academy "seeks to offer seminars in assisting businesses and public organizations in transitioning to (the new circular, or closed loop, economic paradigm from the lin ear)," Program Coordinator Shanda LeVan said. LeVan became involved in the Academy when she took two semi nar courses during the 2003-04 school year. Although LeVan holds a bachelor's degree in Environmental Science she said she still learned new ideas and benefited from what she learned with the program. Now, LeVan helps coor dinate and schedule seminars. The Academy's seminars are or ganized into five major tracks: basic, core, technical, business and local government. The basic track helps those new to the field by introducing them to the basic elements of sus tainability. The core track offers assis tance in the basic foundations of sus tainability, including personal leadership. The technical track gives seminars in a number of specialized topics for individuals interested in sustainability in operation practices. The business track offers seminars in various aspects of businesses. The local government track is taught in collaboration with the League of Oregon Cities, and offers seminars about the other tracks. The program, which offers a certifi cate of completion, can be started at any time, and can be completed with in one year. The Academy starts in the fall; reg istration is currently open. Seminars are held in Eugene at the Baker Downtown Center and in Portland at the Portland Center. If organizations have a large enough staff, the Acade my can go on-site and tailor the course to its needs. The Continuing Education Program is targeting the Academy to senior executives and mid-level managers, but people from many professional backgrounds attend. Heather Fisher, the Academy's Registration Coordinator, said courses are "definitely available for students," along with non-profit leaders, environmental health and safety managers, facility managers and others.

Oregon Bach Festival receives $800,000 contribution Two festival patrons pledged $1 million in total through Campaign Oregon KATE WEBSTER FREELANCE REPORTER Two local Oregon Bach Festival en thusiasts commemorated the 35th anniversary of the festival with a do nation they hope will make a positive difference for the festival. At a dinner for festival patrons June 27, Pete and Maty Ann Moore honored their 15-Iyear association with the festi val by pledging $ 1 million to the Univer sity's Campaign Oregon: Transforming Lives. Some $800,000 of this contribu tion will be allocated to the festival, and the rest will be dedicated to athletics and scholarships at the University. The Moores are active ticket buyers, patrons and board members of the Oregon Bach Festival who said they recognize its importance to the world and its ability to affect people's lives. The festival seeks to raise $ 10 million through Campaign Oregon, yielding about $400,000 each year to support the festival's operating budget, which includes two key aspects that particular ly interest the Moores: the operations of the world-class festival and fueling growth of artistic and educational pro grams. Areas within that have been in need of a large amount of funding are salary improvement, expansion of youth programs, and publicity and marketing for the festival. The $1 million pledge from the Moores also supports the ultimate fes tival goal of cross-continental rela tions and friendship through music. Contributions to the festival have been made and will continue to be made by "many people in this world who want to be remembered by building bridges between cultures through music," said George Evano, the festival's director of communications. The Moores are not only giving a gift that will transform the lives of people all over the world, but are also positively transforming the lives of the musicians and staff within the festival, festival stage manager Michael Nutter said, adding that he is grateful to the Moores in explain ing how their contribution personal ly affects his life. "A gift like this gives us stability about an uncertain future and makes us aware that the community itself sees the value in what that future can hold," Nutter said.
