Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The purpose of the Sustainability Ambassadors program is to provide a real and active connection between the Office of Sustainability and the campus community, facilitating the generation and implementation of new ideas, partnerships, and the sharing of information about sustainable practices and activities on and off campus. Within their respective offices, departments and groups, the Ambassadors act as facilitators and implementers of sustainability, and conduits for the flow of information to and from the Office of Sustainability.
Currently, the majority of Ambassadors are Facilities staff, as the Program was initiated in that department as a pilot in 2010. Therefore, the number of people served by the program in our response above has been limited to the total number of Facilities staff. For more accurate results in terms of the number of employees served by such programs, we recommend that the STARS program require a more accurate gauge for this credit in the future.
