There are several aspects to the role of Sustainability Coordinator. The coordinator is responsible for organizing and documenting the Student Sustainability Council (SSC) meetings, as well as distributing the minutes and agenda for these meetings. It is also the coordinator’s duty to work with the administration to innovate and improve sustainable practices on campus. The Sustainability Coordinator must work with the Students' Association government and both the University Council on Sustainability and Student Sustainability Council to develop a clear outline of short and long-term goals for SA Sustainability along with a plan for completion of these goals. Lastly, the Sustainability Coordinator must create and enforce sustainability policies regarding SA offices and meetings in order to make the group more environmentally sustainable.
