Get Involved: On Campus

Volunteer

There are plenty of organizations to get involved with and things to do on-campus.

Look around and sign up!

ECO Reps

Eco-Reps is a peer-to-peer sustainability education program. In our program, that was piloted in Mills Hall in Spring 2009. Students designated as Eco-Reps are responsible for their hall’s sustainable engagement and knowledge. Eco-Reps are the go-to people for resident students with questions concerning the environment. They plan hall events centered on sustainability, publicize environmental services and events on campus, and are the voice of environmentally concerned students to the administration. They work to promote energy conservation and participation in recylcing programs.

If you are interested in becoming an Eco-Rep in the fall, contact the Student Environmental Center for an application.

A.S.H.E

Active Students for a Healthy Environment (A.S.H.E.) is UNC Asheville’s oldest student environmental organization. Formerly known as the “ecology club”, we focus on raising environmental awareness, leadership development, and initiating proactive, progressive action to make positive sustainable changes in our environment. We are involved with and often help organize a wide range of campus and community events having to do with conservation, political action, and celebration of our environment and our role as stewards. We help students to think globally while acting locally.

ASHE meets every Thursday at 12:30 in the Highsmith Student Union.

ASHE can be reached via email at asheunca@gmail.com.
