Pitt Green Team

Pitt Green Team is first-year student eco-ambassador program, run by the Student Office of Sustainability (SOOS).

First-year students who apply for and are selected for the Pitt Green Team move in early and receive Pitt Sustainability training and SOOS mentoring .

Pitt Green Team students receive specialized training in campus sustainability practices, including recycling procedures and food waste composting.  They assist with green events and help spread the word about sustainability initiatives at Pitt.

During Orientation Week, Pitt Green Team is an essential part of campus events including by collecting recycling during Arrival Survival and helping at zero waste events.

Throughout their first year, Pitt Green Team continues to participate in sustainability-focused events and services.

Green Team applications open in July annually to allow selection in time for students to help with move in and orientation events.
