A brief description of the student educators program (1st program):
Throughout the academic year, the REACH Sustainability Coordinator promotes Seawolves Targeting Earth-Friendly Practices (STEP UP) for sustainability initiative using educational campaigns and challenges in the residential community and beyond, focusing on three areas. The three areas are:
1. Water and Energy Conservation
The purpose of this area is to promote awareness of water and energy consumption. Small acts such as turning off the lights and unplugging appliances when not in use, or turning off the water when brushing teeth contribute to the bigger picture of water conservation.
2. Responsible Consumption and Production
This area promotes resource and energy efficiency, sustainable infrastructure, and providing access to basic services, green and decent jobs, and a better quality of life for all. Sustainable consumption aims at “doing more with less”. This can be achieved by reducing your waste and being thoughtful about what you buy and choosing a sustainable option whenever possible.

A brief description of the student educators program (2nd program):
The program starts off the year by doing a training presentation for all of Culinary Services during our mandatory training. The person in this position attends a biweekly meeting with other sustainability positions on campus to talk about upcoming events or ask for help if needed. This year was the first year earth week and was entirely student-run, which this position was a part of. This position has the freedom to choose how they wish to educate others and what they wish to focus on. This year, large signs with physical items telling customers how to sort their trash were put up along with signs for the workers. This position also is a part of the Farm to Table dinner in which Culinary uses only locally grown food.
