A brief description of the campaign(s):
Fall 2011 will mark the 4th ResLife Energy Challenge in which residence halls across campus compete to see who can use the least amount of energy over a designated time frame. Utilities and Energy Management and Residence Life work hand in hand to develop and implement this successful outreach and education campaign. Twenty-nine residence halls responded to the energy challenge in 2010. Additionally, the 2010 challenge took an expanded view of sustainability and residents earned points for their hall by signing a sustainability pledge, participating in a sustainability themed film series sponsored by Multicultural Services, doing service relating to recycling with Student Government Association’s Environmental Issues & Concerns (Kyle Field post-game and Koldus), participating with the Howdy Garden or Holistic Gardens to learn about sustainable food sources, sponsoring an educational bulletin board, and/or selecting a student Eco-rep for part of the hall's governance.
