Faculty and Staff Opportunities
Inspired by Loyola’s mission and the principles of integral ecology, we each have a role in caring for our common home. Every employee can make a meaningful impact through the choices and contributions they bring to their work each day.
Participate in our Laudato Si’ Offices program
The Laudato Si’ Offices program is the Office of Sustainability’s revamped Green Office Program. It provides actionable tasks for Loyola employees to incorporate the Laudato Si’ goals into their daily operations. These tasks increase gradually in scale and impact through three tiers:
- Tier 1 Task Form focuses on shorter-term, material adjustments
- Tier 2 and Tier 3 Task Forms focus on longer-term and more complex initiatives.
We will publicly award offices that have completed tiers of the program at our Earth Month celebration in April.
