Email Tips- What To DoDear President Healey,I am part of a team of Eco-Reps who work for the Sustainability Office to design and implement projects that add value to our campus. The current project is focused on paper consumption in staff offices and communicating ways to decrease usage. We believe it would be beneficial to have your written support as your influence would impact these offices. Please view the file attached to this message and let us know if we could set up a meeting time to discuss this further. Thank you for your support of sustainability efforts on campus.Sincerely,Hannah Esberg ’15 and Daniel Macumber ‘15
