Admission is <br />free. <br /> <br />The ACT-SO program centers on the dedication and commitment of community <br />volunteers and business leaders who serve as mentors and coaches to promote <br />academic and artistic excellence among African-American students. This year, ACT- <br />SO students from Eugene, Bethel and Springfield school districts will compete in <br />mathematics, drama, contemporary and classical vocal music, classical and <br />contemporary music instrumentals, filmmaking, poetry, original essay-writing, <br />drawing, painting, and dance. <br /> <br />For more information, contact Eugene Recreation Programmer Kenya LuVert at 541-682-5525. <br /> <br />$CORE Program Works with Renters to Increase Household Efficiency <br />The University of Oregon’s (UO) Student and Community Outreach for Renter Efficiency $CORE program fills the gaps of <br />energy efficiency awareness in the student rental community, one foot of weather stripping at a time. In its second year, <br />and with funding from the City of Eugene’s Waste Prevention and Green Building program and the Eugene Water & Electric <br />Board (EWEB), the program’s Student Energy Educators visited 78 homes and helped more than 250 students change their <br />habits and install energy-saving materials that reduce their utility <br />bills. <br /> <br />The program engages students by promising monetary savings <br />and reduced environmental impact. The success of the $CORE <br />program depends on peer-to-peer interaction. Student Energy <br />Educators attend a weekend training where they learn energy <br />concepts, such as how small behavior changes can save energy. <br />They also learn how to perform in-home energy audits. Students <br />gain valuable skills by leading all aspects of the $CORE program, <br />including ordering inventory, scheduling assessments, and <br />outreach/marketing. Oversight and administration is provided by <br />the UO Office of Sustainability. <br /> <br />To learn more about how the City works with community groups and educational institutions to reduce waste and promote <br />green building practices, please visit the Recycling and Solid Waste website or contact Stephanie Scafa, 541-682-5652. <br /> <br />EUGENE CITY COUNCIL NEWSLETTER PAGE 1 <br />April 10, 2014 <br />
