ENVSC 531 - Internship in Local Food and Agriculture

Credits: 2-4
Students will experience working in the local food system of Northwestern Pennsylvania. Based on student interest and the availability of internship site supervisors, each intern will be matched with a local farm, food producer, or organization that is focused on food access or education. The site supervisor and Allegheny internship coordinator will determine projects and activities to be completed during the semester. In addition to the off-campus work, students will meet regularly with the coordinator and other Food and Farm interns to reflect and discuss short articles that provide additional context about the food system. If circumstances prevent students from leaving campus, limited opportunities may be available to work on a project remotely in conjunction with a farm or organization.
