About REP :
Whether you want to help your House win the Green Cup, are interested in a job as a dorm-based environmental educator, or plan to create a similar program at another campus, you'll find resources here.
What is REP?
A unique peer environmental education program, the FAS Resource Efficiency Program (REP) relies on paid student representatives who share information with their dorms about sustainability, comfort, health, and efficiency issues. The Reps also provide suggestions to Harvard administrators about infrastructure and policy improvements that will remove barriers to student conservation. And, we have a lot of fun!
Former REP Captain Tasha Bartch '06, Kirkland Rep Erica Mitchell '06 and Lowell Rep Meredith Lanoue '06 participate in the Annual Waste Audit.

Join REP
Apply to be a House/Yard Rep! Most of the House positions have been filled for the 2008-2009 school year, but we still need a Cabot Rep, and three Yard Reps. And even if the position is filled for your house, you can still help REP by becoming an Entryway Eco-Rep! Click here to learn more about 2008-2009 Rep employment and volunteer opportunities!
