Student Employment
Are you a student looking for a job where you can impact campus sustainability?
The Office of Sustainability offers employment opportunities each semester to students who serve as peer educators, tend the student garden, develop and implement engagement programs, compile and analyze data, perform research, and assist with a variety of sustainability-related certification programs.
EcoReps
EcoReps help spread the word about sustainability to students living on campus. These peer-to-peer educators live and work in ESF’s residence hall, Centennial Hall. Each year, six paid students teach their peers about the core tenets of sustainability, encourage sustainable lifestyle choices, and foster a sense of community between the students and the greater Syracuse area.
