The new Sustainability
Leadership Academy
will offer 21 seminars
STACY AUSTIN
FREELANCE REPORTER
The University's Continuing Educa
tion Program is getting ready to unveil
a new academy designed to help pro
fessionals and students be more suc
cessful in the business field.
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.
The Oregon Bach Festival offers
master classes for conductors and
musicians, programs for children
