A brief description of the student educators program (1st program):
The Green Residence Ambassador program is focused on students living in residence. Student ambassadors are recruited at the beginning of the term and participate in a 3-hour training session on general sustainability, campus sustainability programs and initiatives, and specific Green Residence activities. Throughout the term, ambassadors host weekly booths in residence cafeterias/common areas to engage their peers on campus sustainability programs, fun challenges, and ways to get involved.
