The SAN Admin team is who pulls it all together! Our undergraduate Network Ambassadors are out and about on campus, meeting with leaders and uncovering opportunities for collaboration. Our team facilitates SAN Council meetings, and interfaces with different campus centers including the UW Sustainability Office, the Campus Sustainability Fund, the Ethnic Cultural Center, the Center for Communication, Difference and Equity, and more!
Our team is constantly strategizing ways to connect people, ideas, and resources on campus. Got some ideas? We’d be happy to grab coffee and chat about the intersections of sustainability and brainstorm ideas for engaging students and driving action on campus!

Scott Davis
Project Manager
I am a child of the West, having grown up in California, Utah, and Washington. I came to Seattle to attend the University of Washington, where I earned a BA in Political Science with a minor in Environmental Science and Resource Management. Seattle taught me about urban politics, and I became very active in a number of progressive and social justice organizations over the years. I co-founded a 501c3 Non-Profit that engaged young adults in social justice research and activism.I worked with many of the regions most active organizations. I founded a worker owned coffee shop and worked for one of the larger worker cooperatives in the US. Shortly after this, I had a child. Today I am father to three and I’ve moved out of Seattle onto the west side of “Tiger Mountain” in Issaquah, WA. My kids and I walk the forest and enjoy its beauty together. I am studying restoration ecology and horticulture primarily, as well supplemental coursework. I expect to graduate in June of 2019, and I am seeking a career in the fields of restoration ecology & ecological forest management.
PREVIOUS YEAR STAFF
Zoe Shadan
Network Ambassador
Hello! My name is Zoe and I am currently a sophomore as a Communication and intended Political Science major. I have always had a passion for learning about and working with others in diverse environments in pursuit of collaborative goals. After taking a course with Lance Bennett, my passions were honed in on how pursuing intersectional sustainability in our university and local community could be a truly positive and powerful opportunity. This organization has given me the opportunity to apply my specific interests in how relationships within our society work to the broader scale of the sustainability of our government, economy, and environment. I am excited to now be a part of SAN, working with such an amazing and creative team to evolve this movement on how holistic sustainability pertains to all of us and our interests.
