INTER-RESIDENCE HALL COUNCIL

Sustainability

 

In our continued efforts to be sustainable at all events and meetings for the betterment of our campus and our community at large, IRHC has maintained a growing relationship with Sustainable Campus to further the environmental consciousness of our members as they advocate for residents and work to build communities. One of the best ways to get involved in this process is the Eco-Reps!

 

The Eco-Reps program focuses on peer education and leadership. Eco-Reps coordinate creative events and outreach materials to increase sustainable practices and knowledge in the residence halls in order to change the norms on campus. Our program works to create a space for dialogue about issues in our society while teaching students about many aspects of sustainability. Therefore, all skill sets and majors are encouraged to apply.

 

Eco-Reps act as a bridge between Sustainable Campus and the Inter-Residence Hall Council. As members of both a hall council executive board and Sustainable Campus, Eco-Reps are uniquely situated. Eco-Reps have the opportunity to work with a diverse student body to bring information from Eco-Rep meetings back to their hall’s to actively improve the on-campus housing experience and hall programs.

  By joining Eco-Reps, students will be able to connect with a community of other first and second year students to learn about the layers of sustainability and how this information can be used to improve Florida State University. Eco-Reps grow from program participation as they take away a deeper knowledge of environmental and community health topics. Eco-Reps also gain a strong support network by attending bi-weekly meetings and form long lasting friendships.
