Meet the Team

Green Living Coordinators

The Green Living Council is entirely student-run, and at the heart of the group are the student representatives who have been selected to work as Green Living Coordinators in their residences on campus. These environmental leaders work to educate their housemates on environmental issues and promote sustainable behaviors in everyday student life at Stanford. Their role includes a wide range of responsibilities, from organizing residential programming and activities to bringing sustainability-related concerns of their residents to the attention of the Council.

Leadership Team

An organization like the GLC could not run without the dedicated support of the student Leadership Team, which works to oversee all of the group's activities, recruit Green Living Coordinators, form partnerships with administrators and other student groups, and much more.

Sasha Brownsberger

Co-President

Sasha is a senior majoring in physics and mathematics. Growing up with the Coconino National Forest of Arizona as his back yard, Sasha has always felt a deep love of the world’s wild places. However as an aspiring physicist engaged in active astrophysics research, he is also both in awe of and greatly indebted to the wondrous accomplishments of modern civilization. He attempts to take a pragmatic approach to sustainability, and believes wholeheartedly that humanity can continue its truly remarkable pace of advancement without simultaneously destroying the world that makes such advancement possible. A difficult task, but he believes humanity is up to the challenge. During his rare moments of free time, Sasha loves to move, whether it’s climbing (rocks, tress, buildings, basketball hoops, etc), skiing (telemark), running, hiking, soccer, and kung fu. 

Stephen Koo

Co-President

Stephen is a junior from the distant town of Palo Alto, CA, where the trees grow taller and the grass grows greener. There he was imbued with a sense of duty to preserve the beauty of our planet as it is for the future generations. As Carl Sagan once wrote, "the Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate... Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand." Stephen also loves exploring and playing music, one of the many artforms that attempt to capture the sublimity of our tiny world. His most recent obsessions include John Adams, Francis Poulenc, and Sergei Prokofiev.
