Student Organization Sustainability Liaisons engage their organization's members in sustainable behaviors in order to develop a culture of sustainability among students at SCU.
The Student Organization Sustainability Liaison Program, also known as SCOOPS (Students Collaborating and Organizing Opportunities and Projects for Sustainability), empowers SCU students (undergrads and grads) in leadership positions to implement the University's Strategic Plan by fostering Justice and Sustainability programs among student organizations. Liaisons share and discuss endeavors, events, ideas, and foster collaborative opportunities between multiple organizations.

Student Organization Sustainability Liaison Responsibilities:
- Attend one 1-hr meeting each month. These meetings are focused on a different topic each month. Liaisons bring questions and ideas for an engaging discussion and take away action items.
- Encourage organization members to develop sustainable behaviors.
- Provide feedback to the Center for Sustainability. Liaisons are a channel for two-way communication between students and the Center for Sustainability. Liaisons bring questions, concerns, and ideas to the Center for Sustainability as well as share new information and upcoming events with their housemates and neighbors.
