The EcoReps are sustainability peer-to-peer educators that live and work in ESF's
dorm, Centennial Hall. This program has long been a part of the College's dorm experience, and was reimagined
and relaunched for the Fall 2021 semester. Each year, 10 paid students teach their
peers about the core tenants of sustainability, encourage sustainable lifestyle choices,
and foster a sense of community between the students and the greater Syracuse area.
Current EcoReps:
- Isabella Osborn, Activities Coordinator
- Victoria Murphy, Education Coordinator
- Lisa Steinberg, Communication Coordinator
- Everett Tucker
- Hillary Suzuki
- Kara Schemm
- Leila Kaufmann
- Maddie Partell
- Willow Grace
- Lila Vasquez

Our Sustainability Engagement Assistants work to share educate the campus community
about a variety of sustainability practices and initiatives. They help to promote
and integrate College-led programs in campus life and to learn what programs the community
would like to see developed in the future. They organize regular activities and collaborate
with student groups. You may see them around campus, tabling, "trash talking", or
performing a waste audit.
Current Sustainability Engagement Assistants:
