Recycling Technicians are paid student workers assigned to each on-campus residence hall and charged with educating and assisting all residents on proper recycling and waste disposal practices. Technicians also collect and educate on specified donations to local food banks, used clothing stores, and on-campus donation drives.
Training for the RTs is carried out by staff in the Office of Sustainability before the start of the Fall (and Spring semesters according to new staff).

The Sexperts are student educators with extensive training on the topic of sexual and reproductive health and share that information with their peers through outreach, presentations, and other on-campus events. The Sexperts can be requested to speak to any organization and student group on campus.
Training for becoming a Sexpert involves moving onto campus before the semester begins to attend training sessions.
The Sexperts' goal is to create a safe environment where students feel comfortable talking or learning about sex and related topics. Common topics of focus include contraceptives, sex and dating, sexually transmitted infections, anatomy, LGBTQ+, consent, and "is it normal?", among others. Students ask questions anonymously before or during a program and we answer them. Interactive games are played sporadically throughout each program.
