OSU Sustainability Advocates
A brief description of the employee educators program (1st program):
Through OSU's Sustainability Advocates program, faculty and staff act as sustainability contacts and experts within their campus units, and often for adjacent campus units, by:
-Sharing information and training opportunities with fellow employees
-Networking with others interested in sustainability
-Promoting sustainability-related events within their unit and beyond
-Building sustainability culture, competence and capacity within their department
-Communicating needs, opportunities and best practices back to the OSU Sustainability Office
-Leading actions to make the unit more sustainable, such as with our Green Office and Green Labs certification programs.
Examples of outreach activities include:
-Sharing messaging and outreach materials from organizations like the Sustainability Office, Campus Recycling and Civic Engagement and Leadership
-Recruiting participants for professional development opportunities like WOHESC and AASHE conferences, and participating in these development opportunities themselves
-Hanging posters for events and programs like Campus Race to Zero Waste, Green Office Certification, etc.
-Forming teams of bicycle riders for Zap commute competitions
-Sharing PowerPoint slides at a staff meeting on a current sustainability campaign or event
-Recruiting Master Recyclers, more Green Office Certification participants, etc. from their unit and others
-Sending sustainability related materials through their departmental newsletter.
The Sustainability Office has provided funding to Sustainability Advocates for professional development opportunities like WOHESC, by covering conference passes and transportation to/from the event.
