CHRONICLE STAFF WRITER
HEBRON — A second Citizen Leadership Academy will be offered in the Town of Hebron this week.
The “We Are Hebron” program was established in 2018 to provide residents with opportunities to serve the town and for local government officials to tap into new reserves of talent and skills amongst citizens.
“We Are Hebron” provides hands-on sessions, once a week for eight weeks, to learn about town services and help citizens learn more about governmental procedures.
“By the conclusion of the sessions, the residents will have an understanding of the functions of our local government and the roles of our town employees,” the introduction to the leadership acad-emy states in part.
“Residents will realize then that they too can get involved and offer their tal-
ents to our town as volunteers.”Sessions are as follows:• The first session will take place
Wednesday at the Hebron Town Office Building, at 15 Gilead St./Route 85.
It will feature a look into the gover-nance of the town’s board of selectmen and town manager.
• The second week, Wednesday, Sept. 25, it will be held at the Douglas Library, at 22 Main St./Route 66, and focus on town budgetary issues and finance board operations.

STATE UNIVERSITY
WILLIMANTIC — Eastern Connecticut State University has recently been highlighted for its sustainability efforts in the “2019 Sustainable Cam-pus Index.”
It was honored in a publi-cation of the Association for the Advancement of Sustain-ability in Higher Education (AASHE).
The index highlights ini-tiatives at colleges and uni-versities that submitted a Sustainability Tracking, As-sessment & Rating System (STARS) report in the most recent calendar year.
The university was rec-ognized as a “Highlighted Institution” for the Sustainable CT program managed by the Institute for Sustainable Energy at Eastern, as well as for being among the highest scorers among universities in the “Food and Dining” sus-tainability category.
“We are pleased with this recognition of our progress on sustainability at Eastern, and we realize that we have a lot of work ahead of us to achieve our climate and sus-tainability goals,” said Lynn Stoddard, executive director of the Institute for Sustainable Energy and chairperson of Eastern’s Green Campus Committee.
“We are inspired by the sus-tainability accomplishments of our peers and continue to learn from each other.”
In 2018, the Institute for Sustainable Energy launched Sustainable CT, a voluntary certification program to sup-port and recognize thriving and resilient Connecticut communities.
The program offers a menu of actions in nine broad cat-egories, including equity and inclusion, local economies, arts and culture and environ-mental stewardship.
More than half of Connecti-cut’s municipalities partici-
pate in Sustainable CT and 22 towns and cities earned certification in the program’s first year.
In the “Food and Dining” category, Eastern was rec-ognized as a top performer among colleges and universi-ties.
Chartwells, Eastern’s food service provider, has intro-duced a number of environ-mentally conscious initia-tives, including a tray-less dining room and donations of surplus food to the local food pantry.
A recent “Zero Waste” bar-becue luncheon featured an environmental theme, which emphasized reusable, recy-clable or compostable mate-rials to minimize waste.
The event enhanced East-ern’s Green Campus Initiative and communities beyond Willimantic as well.
Waste from the luncheon was taken to Quantum Bio-Power in Southington, where it was processed and turned
into electricity to powerSouthington Town Hall and the Southington police and fire stations.
Chartwells has supportedother sustainable food sys-tems by making low-impact dining options available, edu-cating customers about moresustainable options, offering meatless dining, and insti-tuting sustainable food andbeverage practices.
“Eastern’s dedication toenvironmental stewardship is evidenced by a range of sus-tainability efforts seen dailyon our campus,” said EasternPresident Elsa Núñez.
“We are happy to high-light Eastern Connecticut State University in this year’s Sustainable Campus Index,” said AASHE Executive Dir-ector Meghan Fay Zahniser.
Eastern’s STARS report is publicly available on the STARS website: https://reports.aashe.org/institu-tions/eastern-connecticut-state-university-ct/report.
