Student Participants
UTS ESI is keen to involve students on working groups and give them the opportunity to have a say in the Environment Sustainability Initiative at UTS. We are looking to have a student participant on each of our seven working groups (communication, energy, water, waste, transport, procurement, and planning guidelines).
This is a volunteer position for students that believe they can add value to a certain working group. The selected student is going to have one year membership in the working group during which he/she will participate in discussions in the working group meetings and gain experience in many projects that are implemented at the University.
We are now taking expression of interests for Student Participants for committed and enthusiastic students by completing the application form (Microsoft Word, 28k).
Ideas for action: how you can green UTS
Students and staff are encouraged to participate in ESI in a variety of ways. If you and your friends and colleagues are creative thinkers, passionate about environmental sustainability and most of all, committed to being actively involved in transforming UTS then tell us what else we should be doing to green our campuses. We're looking for students and staff with project ideas (and a willingness to participate!) that will make UTS more environmentally friendly in real, practical and rewarding ways.
Project proposals will be evaluated by the ESI Team. If they prove feasible, practical, and beneficial to UTS, they will be adopted by the Working Group whose strategic goals most closely align with the proposed project's goals. Moreover, you will be invited to participate - hands-on - in the execution of the project.
To help you get your green thinking caps on, browse the Working Group pages - there are six initiatives: Energy, Planning and Design, Procurement, Recycling and Waste, Transport and Water.
Are you ready to tell us your project idea?
When you're ready to tell us your project idea, email the Sustainability Taskforce Coordinator and outline (in no more than 300 words) your proposed project, the project goals, how it will further green UTS and how you might be involved in making it happen.
