Mission
The Sustainable Living Floor’s mission is to promote campus sustainability as individuals and as a community. We do this by eating locally, saving resources, and creating a model for the dorm community.

The Sustainable Living Floor is a place where seven students live as a co-ed community with students making personal efforts towards sustainability in their everyday lives. The main community centers on eating and sharing meals together. Each member of the floor is assigned one night a week to cook dinner. The goal of the Sustainable Living Floor is to eat local food whenever possible, and to share food with one another. The floor sponsors one campus wide potluck ever year with local, vegetarian and vegan options. The floor also volunteers to take out the compost for the dining hall.

Election Process
Each current member of the floor gets one vote for each open room. Only one vote is allowed per applicant. The applicant must apply to be eligible. Voting works on a ballot system.

Electing the President of the Floor
The president will be elected democratically at the beginning of the semester. Elections take place when the old president is no longer a member of the floor.

Room Selection
The rooms are chosen by the accepted applicants and approved by the president. If there is any conflict, the president holds a meeting to discuss the problem. If this does not resolve the issue, the current members of the floor vote. The president has the ultimate authority over room selection and room change.
