Activity 2

Marist College provides a variety of auxiliary services to both its students and employees in support of its educational mission. As part of the student experience, Marist offers a variety of college housing to over 3,200 students in corridor, suite, apartment, and townhouse-style residences. The residential life program at Marist is based upon the philosophy of providing students with a safe, healthy, and attractive living environment that supports and supplements the educational mission of the College. Students are housed using a "rites of passage" philosophy, which recognizes that a student's development should be supported by his/her living environment. Another large auxiliary function includes food service through both a resident and retail dining program. The main resident dining operation provides food on a daily basis to over 1,500 participants. The campus's six retail cafes, catering to an additional 1,800 participants, offer a wide selection of hot and cold drinks, soups, salads, sandwiches, and snacks. The campus dining experience is focused on culinary expertise, fresh local and regional ingredients, healthy options, and a shared sense of environmental and social responsibility. Other campus auxiliary services include a bookstore, computer store, and a campus/community debit card account known as Marist Money. Throughout all of the College's auxiliary services, an emphasis is placed on promoting sustainable practices where applicable and include, but are not limited to, educating faculty, staff, and students about the impact of their actions on the environment; identifying, establishing, and publicizing sustainability principles, goals, and best practices; providing a framework for guiding sustainable procedures, programs, and initiatives; and monitoring and reporting progress on campus sustainability initiatives.
