Student Sustainability Initiative (SSI) staff are 10 paid positions selected based on a competitive application process and hired by the SSI Fee Board. The process is advised by the OSU Sustainability Coordinator and other faculty and staff.
SSI Fee Board members (5 voting, plus 3 non-voting) are selected through a competitive application process by previous Board members. This process is advised by the OSU Sustainability Coordinator and other faculty and staff.
Staff, and to some extent Board members, are selected based on demonstrated personal commitment to sustainability, experience in the sustainability-related fields, and aptitude of candidates for conducting peer learning activities, campaign building and other related activities.

ASOSU staff receive additional training specific to their program area.
