A brief description of the themed housing, including name(s) and descriptions of theme(s):
Furman offers two sustainability-themed engaged living programs, both of which involve a competitive application process. The Environmental Community of Students (ECOS) program is for first year students, who agree to live together and take two courses together focused on environment and sustainability. The students also agree to work 3-5 hours per week on a sustainability project during the course of their first year and receive a stipend of $1000 for their work. 15 students are selected for the program each year.
The Greenbelt community serves upper class residents (sophomores, juniors, and seniors) who are interested in learning about and living an environmentally sustainable life. Residents participate in programming throughout the year designed to foster the creation of a sustainable community.
