A brief description of the student educators program (1st program):
Residential & Dining Enterprises trains dozens of student volunteers every Fall Quarter to educate students on how to use their thermostats, and how to take other key energy-savings actions particularly when they leave campus such as during the three week winter closure period in December / January. The students go door to door, creating 1:1 interactions with students to encourage them to unplug devices and turn off lights and heating systems. Over the last few years we have seen over a 30% drop in energy usage from our 2016 baseline year with this approach.

Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Since many of these programs were partially suspended during the peak of the Covid-19 pandemic, the metrics reported are based on fiscal year (FY) 2020. As all students living in the dorms are served by one or more of these programs, the "Total number of students served by a peer-to-peer sustainability outreach and education program" metric is equivalent to the 'On-Campus Residents' in FY2020. Therefore, these metrics will not equate to the data reported in the PRE-5 section of this STARS report, which is reflective of FY2021. All of the programs are typically ongoing and are fully active as students have recently been returning more to campus.
