A brief description of the program, including examples of peer-to-peer outreach activities:
The Office of Sustainability coordinates an Environmental Representative program, which covers all residential buildings. The program is designed to provide student Environmental Representatives the skills and resources required to work with student residents to meet environmental performance goals. In addition, Environmental Representatives launched the Green Room Certification, now in its sixth year, to develop a resident engagement strategy that will help drive overall building environmental awareness and performance.
Environmental Representatives (EcoReps) are also responsible for general programming in their space (targeting environmental issues of particular relevance to their hall) as well as implementing Office of Sustainability programming (Campus Waste Diversion Programs, Yellow Bicycle Share Program, etc.)

Student EcoReps must fill out an application and go through a selection process that considers their environmental interests and willingness to engage their peers in sustainability programming.

EcoReps return to campus the week before Orientation and participate in an intensive training that covers skills training (programming, volunteer recruitment, etc.) and HWS Sustainability practices, policies and structures (the Climate Action Plan, Support/Resources – cleaning services, Residential Education, Buildings and Grounds, and basic building functions – waste management, water, etc.).
