Co-Founder And Co-Director
Byu Student Sustainability Initiative
Provo, Utah, United States
I founded a student movement that successfully developed relationships with and lobbied administration to create a Sustainability Committee and hire a Sustainability Manager. This included detailed reports on sustainability measures taken by other universities, BYU's own initiatives, and convincing economic evidence to support the hiring of a Sustainability Manager. I planned, scheduled, and obtained permits for large events. We created partnerships with local businesses and the Utah Transit Authority to enhance events, including bringing a bus into the campus commons and giving students tours. I advised student-led sustainability projects in areas such as access to recycling and community gardens.
