Ambassadors serve as educators and communicators. Ambassadors help direct employees to and inform them of sustainability programs, activities and resources. This means ensuring coworkers know about all of the sustainability programs that already exist, helping to make them more accessible, and having conversations about why sustainability is important and how to make sustainable lifestyle choices at work and beyond.

Responsibilities

Ambassadors are expected to be active in the Teams channel and share announcements and events with their units. They may also make office improvements ranging from updating signage to championing new programs or contribute to campus wide sustainability efforts like supporting events or creating helpful resources.

Ambassadors should be able to commit to 1 hour/month for a minimum of one year and are welcome to continue for as long as they'd like and can work on projects that require additional time if they have the availability.

All Ambassadors are encouraged to complete the Campus Sustainability Series through Professional Development & Training offered each fall but it is not a requirement. New Ambassadors are welcomed throughout the year with most joining in January, following this series.

Join

Ambassador positions are not selective/competitive, units can have multiple Ambassadors and all employees with an interest are welcomed! Ambassadors from areas of campus that are not yet represented and those who can add diversity to our group are especially encouraged to join.

If you’d like to become an Ambassador send an email with a short explanation of why you’re interested and how you envision contributing to the group.
