Sustainability Lessons Taught by Peers
04/06

In 2021, the College rejuvenated the longstanding EcoReps peer-to-peer education program. Through the EcoReps program, the College hires residents of Centennial Hall to educate their fellow students about how to live sustainably on and off campus. EcoReps teach their peers about the core tenets of sustainability; promote environmentally conscious decision-making; encourage sustainable lifestyles; and foster a connection with the campus community and greater Syracuse area. The students develop and deliver content around monthly themes and collaborate with ESF's Sustainability Division to align EcoReps program content with the College's sustainability goals and priorities. They make practicing sustainability fun and accessible for students and adapt the program to meet the interests of Centennial Hall residents.
