The Environment/Sustainability community is available for any student interest in Environmental Stewardship which will be located on the 2nd Floor in New Hall opening Fall 2013. This themed community is centered on promoting environmental awareness and practices. It consists of a group of students who share a common vision to raise consciousness of environmental issues, communicate the importance of environmental conservation and model best practices towards sustainability. Any student who desires to participate in the Environment/Sustainability Themed Community must indicate their preference for this community though the Contract for University Housing assignment process. To sign up for this community, returning students should participate in the Priority Sign-Up process.  New students should indicate their preference for this community on their Contract for University Housing and then fill out and return the application that they receive in the mail. There is no extra cost associated with the Themed Community Program; however, students are expected to sign and agree to a set of expectations for living in a Themed Community.  This will be available at the time of Priority Sign-Up (returning students) or included in the application packet (new students).
