12 student organizations on campus provide peer education on sustainability topics including food waste, sustainable agriculture, water conservation, and transportation options. Student Orgs are estimated at one hour each week engaging their members on sustainability topics. (12 orgs x 10 members x 20 weeks x 1 hour each week= 2,400 hours)
Student Government has a Chief Sustainability Officer that provides training and support to student representatives. Student Government CSO is 3 hours per week for 30 weeks = 90 hours.
