Nastassia Patin, npatin@stanford.edu
Financial Officer

“Hi, I'm Nastassia, the Financial Officer for Sustainability in 2005-2006. I'm a sophomore majoring in Biology and I got involved with SSS last year as an E-Rep for my freshman dorm. I have had a lot of fun with the club and I am really excited to see so many people working to make Stanford a greener, more sustainable campus! This year I've worked on a few projects, including the recycled paper campaign. I also organized a townhall meeting on the Global Climate and Energy Project (GCEP) to raise awareness about this huge research initiative, and I helped to organize the Energy Bowl and the Earth Day celebration. I think the Great Annual Stanford Energy Bowl and Water Derby is one of the most important projects that this group does and I am looking forward to seeing that grow in the next few years.”
