USC Housing University Housing is committed to protecting the environment and is working with the Sustainable Universities Initiative (SUI) and the School of the Environment (SOE) to make Housing a national leader in developing a sustainable community. The goal is to develop Housing into a sustainable community and to use its success as an example of sustainability for the rest of campus and other schools in the region. These efforts are also supported by the commitment and work of Housing Custodial Staff, Maintenance personnel, Residence Life and other campus departments such as Facility Services.
Efforts towards sustainability include recycling, purchasing environmentally sound products, energy and water conservation, alternative fuel vehicles, greening of residence halls, and annual efforts such as Move In and the Take It or Leave It program during Move out.
