ENVSC 530 - Internship in Campus Sustainability
Credits: 2-4
Liaison: Director of Sustainability
An opportunity for students to engage in sustainability research and action with a focus on campus systems. Interns choose a topic in their area of interest, complete independent research, develop a persuasive pitch, and compile supplemental materials which can result in tangible and immediate transformational change. The work is structured and developed in weekly sessions of a peer group of interns as well as weekly one-on-one consultations with the Director of Sustainability. Interns will develop professional skills and capabilities that are transferable to future research, learning, and employment. Past topics have ranged widely - a solar feasibility study of campus buildings, a beehive education campaign, a local hiking trail resource, a guide to a minimalist lifestyle on campus, the economy of gravel road biking, designing water taste tests to discourage the purchase of bottled water, etc.
Prerequisite: Permission of instructor.
Distribution Requirements: None.
