In Spring 2018, the Office of Student Affairs created the Student Sustainability Educator (SSE) program. The SSE's role is to foster a culture of care for people and planet among students. The SSE receives training and resources to become a leader for sustainability and organizes activities, projects, and educational communications that support environmental awareness and social justice at SUA. Sustainability Student Educators serve as role model for their peers.
