EcoReps

The EcoReps Program aims to connect incoming and current Middlebury students to the world of environmental consciousness and sustainability. By teaching incoming students about important issues relating to sustainability and environmental justice from the moment they step onto campus, EcoReps uses early intervention to help students establish a lifelong relationship with sustainability.
It focuses on how to equitably involve all students, faculty, and staff in community-building. The program helps grow Middlebury’s reputation as a sustainability educator by fostering open dialogue, innovation, and creativity when it comes to big, real-time issues like climate change.
Our Missions:
- Empower the Middlebury College community by helping gain a better understanding of sustainability and environmental issues and how to integrate solutions-oriented work to their lives.
- Encourage inclusive community building that calls for equity, observance, and belonging.
- Expand the accessibility to environmental and sustainability resources at Middlebury.
- Engage with the fourth pillar of Energy2028 to educate students about the importance of environmentally friendly practices as soon as they step on campus.
