A brief description of the program, including examples of peer-to-peer outreach activities:
The Environmental Residents work in collaboration with the Center for Sustainability to encourage sustainable living habits. Since 90% of our students live on campus, ERs primary responsibilities are on their residence halls. They maintain communication with their Residence Assistants and custodian to ensure the center’s sustainability goals are being achieved. They also design monthly programming and awareness campaigns to extent their outreach to the entire student body. We have also expanded the ER program to include commuters, so now we have a designated commuter student who works in partnership with our commuter student coalition to ensure these students are receiving sustainability outreach as well. She serves as an ER and attends all ER training and meetings.
A brief description of how the student educators are selected:
Interested students are required to submit an application each year. These applications are reviewed by the Center for Sustainability. Sustainability staff select students based on their strong sustainability commitment, their available time for this leadership role and their willingness to support robust sustainability programming.
A brief description of the formal training that the student educators receive to prepare them to conduct peer outreach:
In the week prior to the start of the fall semester, the Environmental Residents return to campus for an orientation program. Led by their staff adviser, the ERs receive an overview of sustainability on campus, including a sustainability-focused tour of campus, and review their initiatives for the year. The ERs also review the expectations for their position and participate in team bonding activities.
A brief description of the financial and/or administrative support the institution provides to the program (e.g. annual budget and/or faculty/staff coordination):
The Environmental Residents are directly supported by the Center for Sustainability with the Sustainability Fellow serving as their adviser. The center also provides any necessary financial support to the group. A select group of ERs also receive priority housing from the Office of Residence Life.
