Eco-Reps work with the best and brightest minds of OSU and are responsible for advancing a culture of sustainability in&nbsp;OSU&nbsp;residence halls. No previous experience with sustainability work is required, just a passion for learning and enthusiasm for the job!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is a great entry-level job for incoming students because it&#8217;s flexible and fun. Eco-reps generally work only 5-8 hours per week, and hours can be easily worked around class schedules and other obligations. Compensation is $13\/hr.
