In recent years, energy- and resource-reduction projects have compelled student leaders to create sustainability projects on campuses across the country. This paper examines the role that students play in green revolving funds, including identification, approval, and management. After speaking with numerous students on a variety of campuses, it is clear that students are more likely to be engaged in the GRF when it allows them to collaborate with campus allies and raise awareness of environmental issues. Active support from faculty, staff, and other campus organizations can help students pursue goals both strategically and collaboratively. Three case studies--St. John's University (MN), Whitman College (WA), and the University of Montana at Missoula--illustrate a number of effective uses of the green revolving fund model and successful strategies employed by these students. Appended are: (1) A Sample of Students-Focused GRFs; and (2) Methodology. (Contains 22 endnotes.)
