A brief description of how the student educators are selected (1st program):

The EcoReps program is designed to provide student volunteers with the information and resources necessary to act as ambassadors between the Office of Sustainability and first-year students. During the spring 2011 launch in South Residence Hall, Resident Advisers served as the first EcoReps on campus. At the conclusion of this pilot program, a minimum of four volunteer representatives will be recruited from each of the first-year student residence halls.


A brief description of the formal training that the student educators receive (1st program):

Monthly programming will center around specific themes and will strive to convey each issue in a fun and engaging fashion through interactive presentations, activities, and films. EcoReps will also serve to inform students of ways they can become involved in campus sustainability initiatives. The program will integrate existing programs and resources, including the Green Guide, aWakenings, and the Pro Humanitate Honor Roll. Representatives will attend monthly meetings to learn about each month's programs and activities. They will be required to maintain a bulletin board on relevant information about each campus sustainability initiative.


A brief description of the staff and/or other financial support the institution provides to the program (1st program):

Funding is provided through the Office of Sustainability and Residence Life and Housing. The Office of Sustainability employs two student interns to develop and oversee the implementation of the EcoReps program in first-year student residence halls. These student interns are responsible for training the first class of EcoReps and developing content for monthly programs.

Residence Life and Housing is responsible for supplying prizes for regular competitions as well as program materials throughout the academic year.
