CWRU launches Undergrad Student Sustainability Council

Are you interested in campus greening? Are you the person always looking for the recycling bins? Do you know what CWRU is doing to manage its energy consumption or our green house gas emissions?   

If you’re an an undergrad looking for ways to have a positive impact on the campus, meet other students who share your interests, and help Case build its legacy, then look no further! 

The Student Sustainability Council (SSC) is the way to turn your curiosity, complaints, and interests into action.  Improve recycling in the Residence Halls and Greek houses, design and lead campus energy and recycling competitions, get involved with CWRU’s commitment to becoming a climate neutral university.  As part of the SSC learn about campus sustainability from the pros in Case’s sustainability office. Together, you’ll plan events, bring guest speakers to campus, and go on behind the scenes tours.  You’ll network with sustainability professionals from energy, business, higher education, and non profit sectors.  Be the first to know about research, internship, and green collar job opportunities.

Expectations of Council members:

 

    » Attendance to a weekly or bi-weekly meeting is mandatory. We understand, though,

      that everyone has other commitments and responsibilities, and attendance 100% of

      the time isn't strictly necessary. (time and location to be determined; we will attempt

      to work around as many schedules as possible)

 

     » Dedicated effort and time outside of meetings is necessary in order to pursue and reach your goals. Tasks will not do themselves.

 

»  Members must be self-motivated and ready to take initiative on efforts. Talking is easy.

  Acting takes more.

 

 »  Members must be open-minded. They must be willing and able to view situations 

from multiple perspectives, think creatively, and build ideas collaboratively.

 

» Though it is not necessary, it certainly helps to be out-going and confident —

meeting new people, working with authorities, and going behind the scenes to observe,

learn, work, discuss, and achieve.
