About the Internship
Students in this year-long internship will deliver projects that support the implementation of Sustainability and Climate Action Plan initiatives, which were created through engagement and collaboration with students, staff, and faculty from across the university. These collaborative projects will work to move the university and wider community toward exemplification of sustainability best practices and development of a student population meaningfully engaged in developing solutions to the sustainability challenges that our community, and our world, face.
Through regular lectures and discussions led by the course instructors, and guest speakers, required readings, and their own individual and collaborative inquiry, students will gain a general understanding of a wide range of environmental and natural resource-related challenges, including their social, political, and economic dimensions.
This course meets on Wednesdays from 4-5:45 pm throughout the school year.
