The Office of Sustainability seeks eco-reps to help engage Towson students in environmental actions and activities. Eco-reps serve as liaisons between the student body and the Office of Sustainability at Towson and help our campus in the transformation towards an eco-conscious community.

- Be team leaders for Towson’s Recyclemania and Energy Conservation Contests
- Promote environmental initiatives on campus by posting flyers, sending email reminders and making announcements at hall meetings.
- Give recycling bins and CFL light bulbs to students; make sure that recycling bins are available and properly maintained.
- Plan a study break or other event in their residential community focused on green living.
- Get new students involved in sustainability during new student orientation.
- Help with our annual Trash-to-Treasure sale.
- Serve as the point person in their residence halls regarding sustainability issues.
- Advise students on how to get involved in sustainability on campus, including connecting students with environmental student groups, staff and faculty.
- Receive training on leadership, participate in educational and team-building activities such as hikes, field trips, film showings and more!
