Eco Ambassador Information Session

Apply to join the eco-ambassador team!

Join us for an interactive discussion with sustainability interns, returning eco-ambassadors, and the sustainability coordinator. We will review the upcoming required Eco-Ambassadors Training Retreat, campus sustainability, environmental action, and promotion strategies. Ask questions, see the office space, and join in the conversation! 

Why volunteer?: 
  • Attend a training retreat (Oct 6ht-8th) to learn about campus sustainability, how to lead change, and develop close relationships with the team
  • Bolster your resume with a PRAC service leadership transcript notation
  • Join a team devoted to improving and helping the campus and the planet 
  • Develop professional experience and public speaking skills 
  • Devote 3 to 5 hours a week taking action and helping the community 
  • Make connections and gain support to turn your ideas into action 

Eco-Ambassadors efforts are supported and coordinated by student interns and the sustainability coordinator. 

Eco-Ambassadors spread the message of sustainability to students through presentations, interactive educational programs, tabling at events, designing flyers/signs, creating videos, writing articles and more! You will also get the chance to work with staff and faculty on one of the following topics: energy, waste, transportation and research/education. You will serve as an important link to communicating these topics to the student body. You also be encouraged to shape and contribute to campus sustainability initiatives.


Refreshments will be provided.
