A brief description of how the student educators are selected (1st program):
Membership in the SIFE student organization (Student for Free Enterprise) and their Green Team is also voluntary. Students on the Green Team work with Resident Assistants in Residence Halls, with a variety of other student organizations on campus, and with the student body at large, to train other students to be more effective at recycling, paper reduction, and energy efficiency. Each year they take on a different focus for the year. As a result of their efforts it is estimated that at least 10% of students have been directly affected. Additionally, SIFE competes each year in a national contest for program effectiveness, and has been recognized for their efforts.
