Sustainability Ambassadors

Whether faculty, staff, or student, you can serve as Sustainability Ambassadors for you department, administrative unit, or student organization or living group. The ambassador network is a key component to achieving a sustainable KU because it serves as a major pathway for generating new ideas, establishing partnerships, and sharing information about sustainable research and practices with the campus community. Ambassadors meet a minimum of twice yearly to discuss issues that are important to our campus and report back to the unit they represent. More specifically, ambassadors:

• represent CFS and its activities to a designated group of peers and/or colleagues
• provide feedback to CFS from these groups
• assist CFS in promoting any adopted programs
• provides information and cooperation across designated groups

Ambassadors have the opportunity to:

• network across campus
• shape the agenda of CFS
• shape the campus and workplace environment
• provide a meaningful service to the University
• receive regular updates on CFS program activities, grant opportunities, etc.

As an ambassador to the Center for sustainability, you will be expected to:

• Commit to a three-year term of service (2 years for students)
• Attend 1-2 meetings per semester
• Disseminate information about CFS activities to colleagues and peers
