A brief description of the student educators program (1st program):

The Sustainable Living Office at The Catholic University of America is offered as a three-credit independent study to undergraduate students. The class allows students pursuing the Sustainability Minor within the School of Architecture and Planning as well as students generally interested in campus sustainability to engage the campus community in the university’s sustainability initiatives and help the community live sustainably on a daily basis. This class serves as a bridge between the Sustainability Initiatives team in Facilities, other sustainability and environmental organizations on campus, and the student body, faculty, and staff. It provides students with real world experience implementing sustainability initiatives through a guided hands-on approach. The students expand upon existing sustainability initiatives that advance the 3 P’s of Sustainability: People, Planet, and Prosperity as well as the focuses of the office: Laudato Si, zero waste, environmental justice, climate change education, and professional development.
