A brief description of the student educators program (1st program):
Each month our outreach student intern plans at least one tabling event on different topics in the Student Union. Some examples of past topics include native plants, community service, public transportation, compost, and an event called Be My Neighbor Day. These events require hours of planning to reserve the space, get the word out, create signs, set up and take down, as well as the education portion itself.

The Outreach student assistant at the Office of Energy and Sustainability composes a monthly newsletter to educate the student body about campus sustainability updates.

The newsletter is composed of information that is directly relevant to student including job opportunities in the sustainability field, sustainable practices and products that are attainable for students based on budget and student housing accommodations, campus initiatives and ways to get involved, local sustainability news and community involvement, and highlights a person who has made an impact in the sustainability field to provide inspiration.
