Green Reps are employees from across the entire University of Rochester who care about workplace sustainability. We are comprised of University employees who are interested in championing sustainability, promoting green initiatives, and supporting eco-conscious change within departments.
When you join the Green Reps, we’ll give you tips, tools and resources, then you take it from there.
Green Reps serve as:
- Advocates- We champion sustainability efforts and promote green initiatives through e-communications, events, and day-to-day colleague interactions.
- Liaisons- We can present and represent your views, concerns, and priorities to University leadership.
- Educators- Raising awareness is important to the University’s sustainability efforts. We spotlight the many ways you can go green every day at Rochester.
