Sustainability Student Life Program In Residences
A brief description of the student educators program (1st program):
Dalhousie Office of Sustainability works with Student Services to hire and provide student educators for all campuses to organize sustainability programming in residences. Ecolympics is supported financially by both Residence Life and the Office of Sustainability with a budget for programming, staff time and administrative time. Educators attend a training workshop to learn about the basics of sustainable living and how students can incorporate sustainability in their lives, hosted by the Sustainability Manager. These educators engage other students to deliver educational events and training. Key program efforts include promotion of waste education information and DUMP and Run event and organizing and delivering a 2-week (Ecolympics) inter-building competition that challenges students to reduce their water and energy consumption. The residence building with the largest overall reduction is awarded the trophy and prize.

A brief description of the student educators program (2nd program):
The Dalhousie Student Union Sustainability Office (DSUSO) aims to educate students on issues concerning the climate justice, as well as to foster a culture of sustainability on campus. The office is run by students and programs are directed to all students on campus. We have counted the Halifax campuses for direct delivery of programs though all programs are open to all the Halifax and Agriculture campus. There is less on the ground presence at the AC. Some annual programs include green grants, workshop series, the green gala, and community engagement activities. DSUSO is funded through student fees via the Dalhousie Student Union and training is completed by the previous DSUSO director.
