Resident Assistant Sustainability Resources

 Sustainability Activity Templates

We have created a series of templates to address various aspects of sustainability. We offer a variety of resources to support Residential Life staff in cultivating sustainability and eco-friendly behaviors in the dorms. On this page you will find the following resources: 

• • Sustainability-Themed Initiative Proposals & Program Event Planner (IP/PEP) templates 
  • Sustainable Work Ticket requests 
  • Link to our Sustainable Events Guide where you will find tips to make your events more sustainable. 
  • BlueBikes Giveaway Raffle Form 

Simply select one of the templates below, customize it to your building and audience, and then input the information into the eRezLife IP/PEP form.

• RAs from East Village host clothing swaps regularly!

• RAs from Burnstein Hall and Speare Hall have done plant events to support well-being through learning how to take care of a plant and how that can translate to how we take care of ourselves. Plants can also offer air purification. The event offers opportunities to connect with one another. RAs also supported locally-owned Boon Plant Bar.
