A brief description of how the student educators are selected:
The Green Raider positions are advertised as a campus employment opportunity, which allows for any student to apply. Additionally, faculty recommendations are sought and those recommended students are formally encouraged to apply for the positions. All students that complete an application are interviewed by the Sustainability Manager and 2 faculty members. Green Raiders are then selected based on both their written application and their formal interview.
A brief description of the formal training that the student educators receive to prepare them to conduct peer outreach:
The Green Raiders participate in a Retreat at the beginning of the school year and Weekly meetings thereafter. These meetings are also attended by the Sustainability Manager and 2 faculty members. Some meetings are used for planning upcoming events/programs, but about half are discussion based, serving as training on sustainability topics/issues.
