Are you passionate about recycling or the environment? Do you enjoy talking with people about recycling or about what actions they can take to improve the environment? Penn State Sustainability's Sustainable Operations team is seeking students for the 2026 Blue Crew sponsored by PepsiCo (formerly known as Tailgate Ambassadors).
