  • CLEAN WATER HEROES Georgia Tech TANYARD CREEK Georgia Tech Campus Captures Stormwater to Conserve Water and Protect Urban Stream
    Georgia’s 2017 CLEAN WATER HEROES Georgia Tech TANYARD CREEK Georgia Tech Campus Captures Stormwater to Conserve Water and Protect Urban Stream INTRODUCTION: When Chattahoochee Riverkeeper was looking for a way to show a group of intown Atlanta residents how to use green infrastructure to manage stormwater at a proposed neighborhood park, they had to look no further than the campus of the Georgia Institute of Technology. Georgia Tech has been a leader in green TANYARD infrastructure since it built its first LEED certified building in 2003. Since then, CREEK the Institute has taken on the challenge of managing the rain that falls on the campus. Now that rain is collected and conserved, and the campus has become a veritable zoo of green infrastructure projects that save water and keep pollution out of local streams. The campus’ green solutions to stormwater runoff are so numerous, faculty and students have even developed a smartphone app that allows anyone to take a virtual tour of Tech’s innovative approaches to managing stormwater. THE WATER BODY: In 1888, when Georgia Tech opened its doors, Tanyard Creek flowed through what was then undeveloped property west of Georgia Tech’s iconic Tech Tower building. When thunderstorms rattled over Tech students in those days, the rain hit the ground and seeped slowly into it and eventually to Tanyard Creek. Over the course of the next century as the Institute and Atlanta grew in unison, Tanyard was slowly piped and buried. Today, almost 70 percent of the land surrounding Tanyard Creek is covered in concrete, asphalt and buildings.

  • More Than 120 Staff Leaders Join First Class of the Inclusive
    More Than 120 Staff Leaders Join First Class of the Inclusive Leaders Academy Staff Diversity, Inclusion, and Engagement Launches Program to Support Managers’ Career Development and Transform the Culture through Modeling Inclusive Excellence Annette Filliat, Institute Diversity Research shows that employees with greater self-awareness and social intelligence are frequently more successful.1 For this reason, Staff Diversity, Inclusion, and Engagement launched the Inclusive Leaders Academy, a professional leadership and legacy development program for managers at Georgia Tech. The goal of the program is two-fold: to support managers’ career development by creating opportunities to learn and grow, and to build a leadership community that will transform Institute culture through modeling inclusive excellence. “More self-aware managers collaborate better with others, are more effective in leading change, can be more inclusive and engaging, and proactively seek to develop others,” said Pearl Alexander, executive director of Institute Diversity’s Staff Diversity, Inclusion, and Engagement unit and co-founder of the Inclusive Leaders Academy. The key learning benefits of the Inclusive Leaders Academy – and core curriculum topic areas – facilitate self-awareness, social intelligence, and co-active leadership. Curriculum content has been curated from the NeuroLeadership Institute on unconscious bias and from Brave Leaders Inc on Daring Leadership: The Four Pillars of Courage based on the research of Brené Brown. This combination of self-paced online learning is supplemented with interactive group activities through wisdom labs and coaching sessions to reinforce skill building in each of the core curriculum areas. As Alexander added, “The program engages leaders in reflective practices, such as journaling, intergroup dialogue, storytelling, and coaching, to evoke personal insights and promote self-discovery and transformation.” More than 120 staff leaders representing over 40 campus units joined the first class of the Inclusive Leaders Academy during spring semester 2017.

  • Vertical Facility List
    Facility List The Walt Disney Company is committed to fostering safe, inclusive and respectful workplaces wherever Disney-branded products are manufactured. Numerous measures in support of this commitment are in place, including increased transparency. To that end, we have published this list of the roughly 7,600 facilities in over 70 countries that manufacture Disney-branded products sold, distributed or used in our own retail businesses such as The Disney Stores and Theme Parks, as well as those used in our internal operations. Our goal in releasing this information is to foster collaboration with industry peers, governments, non- governmental organizations and others interested in improving working conditions. Under our International Labor Standards (ILS) Program, facilities that manufacture products or components incorporating Disney intellectual properties must be declared to Disney and receive prior authorization to manufacture. The list below includes the names and addresses of facilities disclosed to us by vendors under the requirements of Disney’s ILS Program for our vertical business, which includes our own retail businesses and internal operations. The list does not include the facilities used only by licensees of The Walt Disney Company or its affiliates that source, manufacture and sell consumer products by and through independent entities. Disney’s vertical business comprises a wide range of product categories including apparel, toys, electronics, food, home goods, personal care, books and others. As a result, the number of facilities involved in the production of Disney-branded products may be larger than for companies that operate in only one or a limited number of product categories. In addition, because we require vendors to disclose any facility where Disney intellectual property is present as part of the manufacturing process, the list includes facilities that may extend beyond finished goods manufacturers or final assembly locations.
