1st program
EcoReps
A brief description of the student educators program (1st program):
Our strongest student educator program is the Bates EcoRep program. This is a work-study position, in which the students work on the Bates carbon emissions report, to our new website, to event planning, to our recycling and composting initiatives. EcoReps focus on four areas - events and outreach, waste and recycling, grantwriting, and carbon footprint data. The events and outreach team is most pertinent to this field - the host events and workshops, work with incoming freshman, and communicate with our dorm reps.
A brief description of the student educators program’s target audience (1st program):
The EcoReps target two areas - dorm parents, known as JAs and RCs, and incoming first year students during orientation. They host educational classes in conjunction with dorm parents for individual floors. The EcoReps work with the Dorm Representatives to promote a conversation and feedback mechanisms for sustainability issues - especially regarding waste, water usage, and energy efficiency. All students living in school housing are touched by this program.
The EcoReps also reach out to every incoming student during mandatory orientation programming, to give an overview of sustainability programs at Bates and how interested students can become involved.
They also reach out to all students on the dining plan, to give them their reusable mug (there are no disposable options) with includes a flyer with our sustainability initiatives and how to get involved, and why we have switched from disposable cups to durable ware.
