A brief description of the student educators program (1st program):
Planet Blue Student Leaders (PBSLs) work in Student Life as part-time peer educators to promote sustainable living behaviors on campus. Throughout the year, PBSLs participate in weekly cohort-based dialogues and workshops to develop leadership skills, and design and implement year-long sustainable behavior change campaigns. You can learn more about what the PBSLs are working on by checking out their guest posts on the Planet Blue Ambassador blog and tuning in to The PBSL Podcast, a bi-weekly conversation about all things student sustainability.
