Does the institution have sustainability-themed housing (residential floor or hall, or theme house) where residents learn about sustainability together and to which residents must apply?:
A brief description of the themed housing:
Santa Clara University has eight Residential Learning Communities (RLCs), each with a specific theme and programming which focuses on certain core values. CyPhi's theme is rooted in sustainability and the arts. CyPhi also has a floor called SLURP, which stands for the Sustainable Living Undergraduate Research Project. SLURP is dedicated to student research about sustainable living on the Santa Clara University campus.
Other RLC themes are also related to sustainability: "Communitas" focuses on local action and compassion; "Loyola" focuses on faith and justice; "Unity" explores the understanding and appreciation of diversity as a catalyst for social and civic engagement; and "Xavier" is an RLC for those who want to make a difference in the world, and who want to participate in the Jesuit tradition of the integration of faith and justice.
