A brief description of the innovative policy, practice, program, or outcome :
The ESSAG is advising MU in advancing its leadership in the production and usage of environmentally, fiscally and socially responsible energy; including providing related educational and research. It is comprised mostly of students from the Missouri Student Association, Missouri Energy Action Committee, Sustain Mizzou and the Graduate Professional Council. The leaders in this group include the director and superintendent of the MU Power Plant and the Vice Chancellor for operations. This type of advising group is unique to higher education, we have not been able to find a campus that has a resemblance of this way to consider campus energy options with a small group of students, staff, and power plant directors.
A brief description of any positive measurable outcomes associated with the innovation (if not reported above):
The students in ESSAG give presentations to their peers and discuss campus energy. The ESSAG is also putting out survey's to gauge student interest in renewable energy and their understanding of our power plant. This group in the future will begin to work with the company Confluence to run energy option models for campus.
