About the Program
The Sustainability Ambassadors program is a partnership between University Housing and the Office of Sustainability to build a culture of sustainability among UNL’s residential student population.
As peer-to-peer educators, Sustainability Ambassadors share about the importance of sustainability, how UNL demonstrates its commitment to sustainability, and how fellow students can make a difference by integrating sustainability into the culture of living on UNL's campus.
