A brief description of the student educators program (1st program):

Part of the mission of the student government is to "promote a healthy and sustainable campus." ASI has a Sustainability Senator position who is trained to work with the student representatives to increase the awareness, culture, and literacy of sustainability on our campus. This also ensures that the university's resources are used efficiently and ethically. The ASI Senator of Sustainability is given a budget to work with and also chairs a Sustainability Committee, which serves as a vehicle for more student engagement. The appointed Senator meets regularly with faculty/staff to serve as a voice for student and to continue building sustainability into student government, peer representation, and peer-peer outreach (supporting other clubs with sustainability-related missions).

Sustainability Club

A brief description of the student educators program (2nd program):

A campus club organized by students who are driven to spread the message of sustainability to our campus and community. Students create recreational and educational activities or events on campus to share the importance of sustainability. Some examples of this includes tabling at campus events like Dog Days, Club and Resource Fairs, and Healthy Campus Week; events created by the Club like Earth Day and World Sustainability & Climate Action Days; as well as presentations to classes or other clubs.

This includes the Fall Sustainability Symposium and Spring Earth Day events where students organize all day events that include a guest speaker and other clubs tabling and sharing valuable information. Another important day of the year for the club is Clean Air Day, with partnerships in the community and grant funding, the club has been able to educate students about air quality in the Central Valley. The club also tables at other campus events: Dog Days, Christmas Tree Lane, Vintage Days, and events sponsored by other campus entities and students--NAACP, SunDogs, Plant Science Club, Arboretum Club, etc.


A brief description of the student educators program’s target audience (2nd program):

Sustainability club officers host peer-peer workshops for both officers and members alike, which helps them communicate to three broad student-types they encounter: students who love sustainability and get an increased sense of belonging, students who are unaware of sustainability and are just interested in learning more, and students who might have negative feelings towards sustainability.
