Sustainability at Tufts

Tufts' Office of Sustainability (OOS) serves as a resource, a catalyst, and an advocate for environmental sustainability across the entire university and runs many programs across all our schools. In addition, SMFA community members actively support sustainability goals though programs such as the below:

Eco-Representatives

The Eco-Reps are a group of residential students who work in their dorm communities to raise awareness about ecological issues, encourage environmentally responsible behavior, and plan fun, creative, and environmentally geared events and activities. They also help the Office of Sustainability plan campus events. If you are passionate about the environment, then the Eco-Rep program may be for you!

SMFA at Tufts' Carte Útil

The CArte Util is a sustainability initiative at SMFA to both reduce art material waste and provide reusable materials to students for free. Instead of throwing away art supplies that you no longer need, the CArte Util takes donations of used art supplies to then be checked out by students who need them throughout the school year. Materials donated by designers, art supply manufacturers, alumni, and more, are also made available for free to students through the CArte Util.
