There, about 100 people plan new buildings, maintain landscapes, create sustainability initiatives and more for UCF. Thousands of cars zoom past daily, but likely not many passersby realize it\u2019s there.<\/p>\n<p>Hannah Hollinger is one of the few who does. A senior studying environmental studies, Hollinger became aware of UCF Facilities and Safety by being involved in Energy Knights, a student club that focuses on spreading knowledge of how to be more environmentally friendly. The Energy Knights\u2019 president at the time told Hollinger that Facilities and Safety was looking for an intern.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI went to see what it was about, and I was beside myself,\u201d Hollinger said. \u201cI thought \u2018This is what I want to get into.\u2019 I didn\u2019t even realize it existed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In July 2015 Hollinger became Facilities and Safety\u2019s Sustainability Initiatives\u2019 social outreach intern, in charge of marketing campaigns that can educate the UCF community on sustainability efforts. After a year of seeing firsthand how Facilities and Safety works to make UCF a more sustainable campus, she realized something was missing: student input.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI realized how, as a student, we don\u2019t have access to understand what happens behind closed doors when it comes to sustainability, operations and facilities at UCF,\u201d she said. \u201cWe needed a connecting piece between students and operations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what inspired her to create the Student Sustainability Advisory Committee, a 13-person committee that began last August. It gives students access to UCF\u2019s faculty and staff Sustainability Advisory Committee meetings, and the opportunity to help improve UCF\u2019s sustainability in return for internship credit. Students commit for one academic year to create proposals on how they think UCF can improve its sustainability and present them to SAC members who can help make them a reality. The first proposals are expected to be presented this month.<\/p>\n<p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" class=\"mx-auto d-block img-fluid wp-image-76357 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2017\/03\/Hollinger.jpg\" alt=\"Hollinger, right, meets with Student Sustainability Advisory Committee members to discuss their proposals.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2017\/03\/Hollinger.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2017\/03\/Hollinger-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2017\/03\/Hollinger-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2017\/03\/Hollinger-599x400.jpg 599w, https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2017\/03\/Hollinger-360x240.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"><\/noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" class=\"mx-auto d-block img-fluid wp-image-76357 size-full lazyload\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20800%20534%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" alt=\"Hollinger, right, meets with Student Sustainability Advisory Committee members to discuss their proposals.\" srcset=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%22http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%22%20viewBox%3D%220%200%20800%20534%22%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2017\/03\/Hollinger.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2017\/03\/Hollinger-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2017\/03\/Hollinger-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2017\/03\/Hollinger-599x400.jpg 599w, https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2017\/03\/Hollinger-360x240.jpg 360w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.ucf.edu\/news\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/20\/files\/2017\/03\/Hollinger.jpg\"><\/p>\n<p>Although there\u2019s no guarantee the student ideas will be implemented, Hollinger is confident most are at least feasible. One proposal is a composting pilot program in The Burnett Honors College. Another idea is to take a plain exterior wall on campus and make it a green wall with plants hanging from top to bottom, which can improve air quality and overall quality of life. \u201cWe can utilize what used to be just concrete or drywall and make it into a living organism and a place you desire to be,\u201d said Hollinger, who also is the Student Government Association\u2019s health and sustainability coordinator.<\/p>\n<p>A third proposal is to create a community garden at Lake Claire where students can manage their own plot and grow their own fruits and vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>Targets of each proposal range from improving campus buildings, land, energy usage, food, transportation, waste and water.<\/p>\n<p>The creation of the student committee has been mutually beneficial for students and staff. Students get hands-on learning experiences outside the classroom, and in turn, Facilities and Safety has a stream of fresh, innovative ideas, said Yarazeth Watson Colon, coordinator of UCF Sustainability Initiatives. Even though Hollinger will graduate in May, the student committee will live on.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to continue having students come out of the classroom and into the field to help prepare them for the workforce that\u2019s growing and changing,\u201d Colon said.<\/p>\n<p>Hollinger first became passionate about environmental issues in her AP Environmental Studies class in high school where she learned the importance of the field and that its job demand was growing. With a Pegasus Scholarship in hand and a growing passion due to the \u201cclimate-change uproar\u201d at the time, as she calls it, Hollinger came to UCF in 2013 to pursue an environmental studies degree and a career in urban planning or public administration.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI found other people that care \u2013 sometimes I feel like even more than I do \u2013 and that\u2019s been really encouraging to me,\u201d she said. \u201cPlus, there are so many clubs on campus with an environmental aspect. I don\u2019t think I would\u2019ve gotten that level of exposure had I not come to UCF.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Hollinger\u2019s time at UCF winds down, she can rest easy knowing her original mission of social outreach for sustainability initiatives at UCF has been successful.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople have emailed me often asking about the opportunity with the SSAC,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s now something other people want to be part of.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Tucked behind the University of Central Florida Police Department on Libra Drive sits a single-story, brick-facade building that houses UCF Facilities and Safety.
