Sustainability Ambassadors

Students attend an outdoor club fair

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.

Two students sit outside on a picnic blanket and talk to each other.
