Leah Gibbs-Gore

Hi! My name is Leah Gibbs-Gore and I'm from Denver, CO via Jersey City, NJ. I'm in my senior year as an Advertising/Art Direction major. Along with being a part of the EcoRep program here at Pratt, I also serve as Chair for Academic Concerns on the Student Government Association. I am also on the cross country team and a DJ for PrattRadio. I love to run outside, and moving to Colorado as a little kid helped me understand the importance of nature. Knowing how much trouble our environment is in but not really sure how to go about making a positive change, I wanted to educate myself in order to help educate others. I know that education is the first step, and I hope that we can make a difference in our world. I live in Willoughby, so please don't hesitate to contact me at lgibbsgo@pratt.edu.

My name is Heather Sisson and I was born in Warwick Rhode Island. I'm a third year illustration major. I'm interested in creating children books and possibly graphic novels. In my spare time I listen nightwish or opera and take photo's of all the posters in the subway with my camera phone. I became interested in sustainability after living in a dorm for a year and realizing how much energy and water people waste compared to what i'm used to at home. I am in hall council and can be contacted at hsisson@pratt.edu

Noah King - Advisor

Noah King is a 28 year old designer living in New Haven, CT. At Pratt Institute he works as a classroom instructor in the Industrial Design and Continuing Education departments. Additionally he works as a faculty advisor and community organizer within the office of sustainability, playing a key role in the Eco-reps program and the Envirolution Club. Back in New Haven he is the owner of Nourish Design, a sustainable design consultancy, where he provides consulting services to small, green businesses. In his free time Noah bikes around New England, cooks gourmet food with his girlfriend, Beth, and silk screens his own t-shirt designs. You are equally likely to find him playing speed chess at the local coffee shop, singing old school rap hits at Karaoke, or eating raw sea urchin at the sushi bar.

For many years Noah made earnest efforts to limit the footprint of his life. Reducing an individual's footprint is still something he is thinking about and supporting others to achieve, however, he has shifted his focus to community organizing and taking leadership.

Rachel Feeser

My name is Rachel Feeser. I was born and raised in the farm country of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Moving to Brooklyn meant a lot of big changes for me, especially when it came to things such as garbage disposal, where to get food, what kind of food I eat, and what kind of outdoor activities I get the chance to participate in. Being in the Industrial Design program at Pratt has really given me an opportunity to learn a lot about sustainable and green design, which has made my education here a lot more satisfying, but I still wanted more ways to be active in my community. I began to take a great interest in not only sustainability in my work, but also in my daily life. This is my senior year at Pratt, and I am proud to be serving ELJ residence hall as their Eco-Rep. I hope that we can put ideas into actions this semester when it comes to issues such as recycling, water and energy conservation, and waste reduction as well as really get an idea of what are the concerns of the student body.

Svetlana Yachnaya

Svetlana Yachnaya is in her third undergraduate year, majoring in
Industrial Design. She makes toys and puppets, does yoga, and plays Irish
fiddle in her free time. Svetlana became interested in sustainability
after learning about current production methods and products in her
classes. She believes that sustainability should not merely exist in the
physical world, but should be social as well. She is the contact person for Pantas and you can reach her by e-mail at syachnay@pratt.edu.

Danielle Dirr

Danielle is a current Interior Design Undergrad Junior. She enjoys traveling to new places, athletics, the outdoors, and cooking. Her interest in sustainability started with her passion for overall well-being. From that, she became intriqued with all the harmful substances and toxics that are part of our everyday lives. Danielle has dedicated her Interior Design studies at Pratt to sustainability.

Adrielle Slaugh

My name is Adrielle Slaugh and I am currently a fourth year Undergraduate Architecture student. I am a member of the on campus groups AIAS and the Sigma Sigma Sigma Sorority. Currently I service as Leadership Consultant for the Community Involvement and Leadership Board. I have been working with the Eco-Reps beginning in the summer of 2008 when I was one of the Co-Coordinators of our New Student Orientation and have continued to be actively involved with them throughout this semester. I am the contact person for the Willoughby 2-5 floors and you can contact me via email at aslaugh@pratt.edu if you have any questions.
