Environmental Sustainability Special Interest Community
The Environmental Sustainability Special Interest Community is designed for students
interested in specialized environmental programming to benefit both the UT campus
and surrounding community.
The Environmental Sustainability Special Interest Community is located in Academic
House which offers residents a two-person bedroom, computer lab, study lounge, recreation
area, meeting space and community bathrooms. Academic House is an air-conditioned
complex. View a room layout.
The Environmental Sustainability Special Interest Community offers residents an environmentally
friendly lifestyle that is tailored to each student who resides in the buildings.
Students have the opportunity to learn about the environment through fun and educational
retreats along with taking leadership roles in University-sponsored "green" competitions
including BlackoUT and Recyclemania! Service learning projects are a key component
of this community and through these experiences residents will be educated on the
environmental changes both on and off campus.
As a group, the Environmental Sustainability Special Interest Community shares ideas
and sets attainable goals for both the community and each student. It is up to the
student to decide how environmentally friendly they wish to be and how much of a commitment
he/she wishes to make. Residents build community through participation in student
organizations.
There is a $50 per semester programming fee for residents of the Environmental Sustainability
Special Interest Community. View our brochure to learn more.
