To foster camaraderie and community between colleagues and celebrate individual and collective employee success, the OSU Sustainability Office and Materials Management department have created a student staff spotlight series. We want to build a sense of belonging for all who are employed by our organizations and support the diversity of our backgrounds.
Trevor Herzog (he/him) is an Energy Projects Intern at the Sustainability Office. Though his position is unique and often involves working on miscellaneous energy-focused projects, some of Trevor’s regular responsibilities include reading steam and electrical meters each month, collecting and organizing data, and communicating with contractors.
Trevor is a third-year student majoring in Mechanical Engineering and Sustainability. He’s from Hillsboro, Oregon, and enjoys watching sunsets at a baseball field near his home. Outside of his work at the Sustainability Office, Trevor enjoys writing and drawing. Post-graduation, Trevor hopes to pursue a career that advances sustainability – especially in the fight against climate change.
Checking for damaged solar panels at OSU’s solar arrays has been one of Trevor’s favorite projects. In particular, he enjoys visiting the solar array that doubles as a sheep grazing field – Trevor notes, “the sheep follow me around when I look at the panels. It’s nice having the four-legged company around, even if they just want to chew on my boot laces.”
Looking forward, Trevor will be working with Max Novack, another Energy Projects Intern, to insulate steam pipes. The two will also be taking part in a campaign aimed at motivating student researchers to close their fume hood sashes in labs.
We appreciate all your hard work, Trevor!
