The USD Eco-Resident Certification Program is designed to help students living on USD’s campus become more sustainable in their daily actions, contribute to lowering the ecological footprint of the university, and set a positive example for other students. The certification process consists of a student assistant from the Office of Sustainability visiting a student in his/her own residential space, and going through a questionnaire that focuses on energy efficiency, water conservation, waste reduction, and other conservation behaviors. Students are then scored based on their answers and are provided with a follow-up message regarding ways to improve their sustainability practices, as well as information on sustainability-related events, and ways to stay involved.
