Environmental Affairs- Peabody Senator Kate Goudge, At-Large Co-Chair Ben Kahn

The Environmental Affairs Committee is Vanderbilt Student Government's voice in the campus-wide effort to facilitate environmental awareness and sustainability. In furthering the message of the Think Gold Act Green Coalition, the Committee serves as a liaison to the various environmental groups on campus and works with these organizations to develop, coordinate, and promote recycling and energy/resource conservation on campus. It also strives to develop unique, cost-effective initiatives for lessening Vanderbilt’s use of resources, invigorates the student body to be more environmentally friendly, and encourages the university to take a leadership role in the global battle against climate change.
