Second Point of Distinction
Sustainability Coordinator AmeriCorps VISTA
A brief description of the second program/initiative/accomplishment:
In Fall of 2020, Prescott College developed an AmeriCorps VISTA position to serve as Sustainability Coordinator for Prescott College, which was voiced as the #1 priority for sustainability by students. The creation of this position is significant because it is the first full-time staff position at the college dedicated to sustainability assessment and improvement. The first person to hold this position created virtual opportunities for students to remain connected and engaged with sustainability during the start of the pandemic. The Sustainability Coordinator successor has been guiding the STARS self-assessment process so that Prescott College completes its first STARS report in over a decade.
