Sustainability in the Residence Halls

In every step Residential Living takes with our halls, the department examines the environmental impact each decision will have.
 
From choosing “green” furniture products to 100% recycled content backing on our halls’ carpet squares to purchasing products from within as close a distance as feasible to lessen transportation costs, each move is put to the “sustainability test.”

The Greenest Resident Room focuses on displaying and utilizing environmentally-friendly products, demonstrating how students and the general public can live an affordable and eco-friendly life. 

The S.U.N. (Students United for Nature) committee provides learning and social opportunities for residents to learn more about being earth-friendly.  Established in 2010, the group draws from a number of various resouces and would love to have you join them!
