Sustainability Quality Circle
A brief description of the student educators program (2nd program):
Quality Circles are peer groups of Resident Assistants (RAs) in the residence halls supervised by Area Coordinators. The Sustainability Quality Circle RAs coordinate sustainability activities in their residence halls in addition to their typical RA work. Other quality circles include those focused on mental health, engaged citizenship, and global learning. Combined, all of the quality circles impact the entire student population that lives in the residence halls.
A brief description of the student educators program’s target audience (2nd program):
The RAs in the Sustainability Quality circle receive general RA training. This includes trainings on mentorship, event coordination, and effective outreach. Group membership is based on student interest so most RAs involved bring their knowledge of sustainability. Examples of outreach and events done by the Quality Circle include submitting a grant to the Kless Sustainability Fund for refillable water stations to cut down on waste in the halls. Other examples include sustainability-focused trivia night, sustainability field trips, and education and outreach on transportation options for students.
