The Student Educators Program empowers Bentley students to encourage their peers to properly sort waste on campus. This program is offered each fall but is also offered asynchronously, allowing students to learn at their own pace. The training will not only help Student Educators understand how to sort waste properly but also be able to think about waste as a global and intersectional issue and how Bentley University is combating waste.
Bentley students who wish to be certified as a Student Educator should take the next steps of training ten other students. This training can be informal, but we provide PowerPoints, interactive games and pre and post surveys to help.
Anyone who is interested in becoming a Student Educator should contact the Office of Sustainability at GA_Bentley_Sustainability@bentley.edu
