Northern RAP 2008 Saturday, November 15th

San Jose State University

Sustainability at NRAP:

Your experience this year at NRAP will be one that allows you to take part in a great deal of sustainability efforts by simply attending the conference!

So to begin, give yourself a pat on the back for participating in a conference which has placed its focus on environmentally friendly choices:

• @ lunch time, instead of individual drink containers (ie. cans & bottles) there will be a large station with beverages for everyone to get their personal serving from
• @ lunch time you will be using cups and plates which will then be used for compost by SJSU’s Environmental Studies Department
• 80% of the programming material will be printed on recycled paper

Take some time to think about efforts you and your delegation can make to help with NRAP’s commitment to sustainability.

What is NRAP?

NRAP is a conference experience for undergraduate students working in Residence Life programs throughout the northern California/Nevada area to unite together to learn about the experiences of peers from other campuses, as well as bring with them their own experiences from the student staff positions they are currently involved in themselves.  At NRAP, students will engage with not only their peers, but also advisors and professional staff members; many of which have participated in events like this in the past.  We know you’ll have a blast, and we can’t wait to see you there on November 15th!
