A brief description of the themed housing:
The Green Quad residence hall is sustainability-themed housing. Students have the option of applying to either the Green Quad or the Green Learning Community for a more immersive experience(see credit ER-12 for more information). The application to the Green Quad asks students about their interest in environmental issues and how they apply sustainable practices in their daily life. Applicants are screened and selected by the Residence Hall Director. There are weekly events held at the Green Quad to educate residents about sustainability and the Resident Mentors in this hall are required to incorporate sustainability into their programs. Annual Green Quad events include a Fall Equinox celebration, Do It in the Dark, Spring Equinox, and a concert Sounds of Sustainability.
