A brief description of the employee educators program (1st program):
Employee Ambassadors represent units across the university. The Office of Sustainability trains the Ambassadors to affect change, and then this network of changemakers works in their respective areas to help Auburn University achieve its sustainability goals, particularly in relation to the university’s day-to-day operations. Ambassadors are required to attend 3 trainings, and 8 Lunch and Learns during their two-year commitment, in addition to leading a change initiative in their unit. Ambassadors are paired with a student intern who is their official Office Liason during the time of the students' internships. Each unit participates in a unit assessment that documents sustainability-related practices. Office Liasons are available to help research options and answer questions that the Ambassadors are interested in. An example of peer-peer outreach activities include pulling together purchasers and decision makers to change purchasing habits, such as switching to purchasing recycled-content paper. Through the collective interests of the Ambassadors, the Battery Recycling Program was expanded into more buildings in the core of the campus and is supported by Office Liaisons. Additionally, through the Peers Network program the Green Labs Program has gained focus and momentum.
