Developing a Student Green Office
About
The Student Green Office is a group of dedicated students paid to work on their sustainability passion projects that engage the study body of CCCU and often its local community, to raise awareness and hope about sustainability in all its forms. The team runs events, designs resources, leads their own projects and campaigns, as well as taking charge of CCCU’s online sustainability presence in order to fulfil these goals, and has done so across twelve years to great success. A managing staff member acts as a mentor, who supports and guides their work, as well as enabling them to make further collaborations across the University with other staff teams.
