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

In Fall 2019, the Office of Sustainability launched its Green Office Building Coordinator Program. This program is like a "mini STARS" to gauge individual campus offices' sustainability impact. This was developed into a employee peer-to-peer program by designating University Building Coordinators as building specific Eco-reps. Each building coordinator completes the Green Office Checklist with their co-workers and then educates the building members on next steps to be a more sustainable office. Office of Sustainability staff work with these coordinators to advise and offer needed solutions, but the Building Coordinators are the peer educators to their specific building constituents.
