Establish Network of Department-Level Student Sustainability Coordinators

Summary: PROPOSED PROJECT: In addition to an overarching Office/director of Sustainability, awareness and coordination on the academic departmental level would be helpful in creating a culture of energy conservation that leads to reduced emissions by students and faculty. Every department needs a sustainability coordinator who is trained in principles of energy savings and can manage and communicate sustainability and GHG reduction data on a departmental level. These coordinators can disseminate information from the Directory of Sustainability (to be hired) and help implement mandates and policies created by administration and governing student bodies; they can also assess what types of policies are most effective.
