Offices and Services

The Sustainability Office Student Employee team is a diverse group of individuals who support and advance sustainability operations and engagement across campus.

This role is open to all class years and majors and is suited to a wide range of skillsets, including event planning, communications (newsletters, social media and print media), data management and analysis, and more. Students have the opportunity to advance their leadership and skills in subsequent years. 

Each year the Director of Sustainability and Sustainability Coordinator assign student staff to a team within the office. Within each team, student employees will be responsible for one or more projects based on the student's unique skills and interests and the needs of the office.

Areas of Focus

Outreach

The Communications & Engagement Team strives to foster a campus culture of sustainability. They drive awareness and participation through creative use of newsletters, social media, print marketing, and grassroots conversations.

Programming

The Events & Initiatives Team designs, organizes, and leads opportunities for ĢTV students to get directly involved in sustainability. Programs range from documentary screenings to upcycled crafts to local policy meetings, but they all seek to foster connection among students and with the community.

Analysis

The Greenhouse Gas & Climate Action Team collects and analyzes campus emissions data for reporting through a platform called SIMAP. This data is used to track ĢTV’s progress towards our climate action goals and develop new approaches to reduce the environmental impact of campus operations.
