Residence Life and Housing Sustainability Committee

The Residence Life and Housing Sustainability Committee aims to actively engage resident students and staff in promote an atmosphere of sustainability in the residence halls and beyond. Sustainability is more than just recycling, and it is more than just about the environment. It is about developing new ideas, changing attitudes, and forming life-long habits that directly contribute to a society that balances its resources in a sustainable manner. The Sustainability Committee strives to achieve this by working with students, staff, and the Center for Sustainability.
