Mission Statement: To educate and inform others about the importance of a sustainable lifestyle and to make lasting proactive changes in the environments that we live in
The Residential Sustainability Education Coordinators (RSECs) are a diverse group of residence hall students who are interested in educating others about the importance of preserving our environment and instilling in them positive habits that aim to conserve our natural resources.
The RSECs provide an extra arm for the hard-working Operations team and also work closely with Campus Recycling & Refuse Services. The RSECs are supervised by a Unit Sustainability Educating Coordinator (USEC) who serves as the main contact between administration and student coordinators. The program was previously known as the Residential Recycling Education Coordinator (RREC) program, and we've since expanded to include water, energy, transportation, consumption and other relevant issues. We've gained the full support of Operations and also work closely with Dining, Re-USE, the Green Campus program and to some extent, ResLife. We are hoping to collaborate with the ASUC in the near future.
RSECs are appointed in the beginning of the year for a full two-semester term. RSECs meet with facility managers to discuss pertinent issues and awareness programming. They also attend bi-monthly meetings with the campus-hired Student Sustainability Education Coordinators within Campus Recycling and Refuse Services and the rest of the RSEC team. Together they design outreach, implement ideas, and get the word out to residents that the environment is important and we should do our best to preserve it.
Here you'll find a list of our programs and a description of each. If you have any more ideas, fill out our idea form or email us and let us know!
