Hall Staff Resources

Rectors, Assistant Rectors, and RAs have a vital role in creating a more sustainable campus. Below are some resources that can be useful in saving energy, reducing resource use, and improving recycling rates in the residence halls. Please send additional topics that you would like to see addressed here to sustainability@nd.edu.

It Starts with the Freshman

Help your incoming residents make smart decisions about the products and practices they bring into the dorm. Include the Freshman Green Guide with the information you send to freshmen or post on your website the summer before they arrive.

Thermostat Woes

We know that the residential heating system isn’t perfect. But we all need to do our part to report problems. Make sure your residents understand how the heaters work in your dorm, what level of control they have in their rooms, and how to report any problems.

Recycling

Many residents don’t know what can and can’t be recycled. Help spread the word by downloading and printing our recycling poster. To request recycling stickers to place on bins, email us your campus address.

A Flood of Phonebooks

If you have been inundated by many more phone directories than your residence hall can use, please call 631.8111 and choose option 2. If you tell them how many books you would like to receive in future years, they will print and deliver appropriately.
