Name of the employee educators program (1st program):
Sustainability Steering Committee
A brief description of the employee educators program (1st program):
The Sustainability Steering Committee has a variety of purposes on campus and one of those purposes is to educate and share information that can then be more broadly disseminated across campus. The committee is comprised of campus wide representation in the form of staff, faculty, campus leadership, and student leadership representatives whose goal is to assess, refine and disseminate information on the current sustainability practices on campus pertaining to academics, dining services, energy, environmental health and safety, landscaping, planning new construction, procurement, recycle/ waste management, transportation and water conservation. A representative is chosen from various aspects of campus to inform and discuss each topic. The committee is also open to anyone on campus who may be interested in learning about various sustainability topics. New ideas and practices developed by this committee are incorporated campus wide.
Each member within the committee is a representative of a different aspect of campus. By representing their unique area of campus there is an expectation that they disseminate information garnered at meetings with their peers. One specific example of this was when the campus launched a new exterior waste and recycling bin education and signage program. During the education presentation of this program, visual graphics, timelines, and process changes were shared. The presentation established new expectations for employee behavior change. Committee members took the information and materials shared at the meeting back to their departments and colleges and educated their peers on the changes.
A brief description of the employee educators program’s target audience (1st program):
The employee educators program's target audience is the broader campus community and more specifically those campus members that work with the diverse group of representatives that make up the Sustainability Committee. Each member within the committee is a representative of their own respective college or department and a peer educator within that college or department.

Zero Waste is a Sacramento State priority; in 2019 President Nelsen established a 2030 zero-waste goal for Sac State.
