Interesting Fall 2009 Culture Studies Course: REL-R 388 Mandir and Masjid at the Movies
Rel-R388
Mandir and Masjid at the Movies
12511 / 12512 Fall 1:00P-2:15P TR
BH 245 Manring
Course carries Arts and Humanities and Culture Studies “A” distribution.
Mandir (temple), masjid (mosque), and other religious sites make frequent appearances in South Asian cinema, sometimes for surprising reasons.
In this course we will consider the meaning of religion in South Asia using film as our lens to explore “ambiguity of the sacred-secular distinction in Indian culture.” We will begin by reading and discussing two chapters on how scholars “read” film, with a bit of practice in class before our first film screening. Each week we will watch and discuss, in detail, one film.
Our broad topics include partition, gender, myth, fundamentalism, and the Diaspora. We will come to know a range of views on religion and its roles in the lives of South Asians through film produced in India, Bangladesh and Pakistan, and our reading of critical articles for each film. The films include mythologicals, social commentary, and Bollywood blockbusters, all of which have a great deal to tell us about religion in South Asia.
No prerequisites or prior knowledge of South Asian religions needed.
Other movies we may study, in addition to some very recent Bollywood films, include:
“Earth
“Khamosh Pani” (“Silent Water”)
“Hey Ram”
“Matir Moina” (“The Clay Bird”)
Bombay”

Two fall courses in Jewish Studies: "Zionism and Contemporary Israeli Society" and "American Jewish Cinema"
Two special visiting scholars will teach courses this fall:
Yossi Turner JSTU-J 303 “Zionism and Contemporary Israel”
Pearl Gluck JSTU-J 303 “American Jewish Cinema”
Professor Joseph Turner was raised in NYC in a modern Orthodox environment and made aliyah after high school. He did his doctorate with Eliezer Schwied at the Hebrew University and is presently a professor at the Schechter Institute in Jerusalem. His main scholarly project, which also affects his teaching, is what he calls “the philosophy of Jewish existence” that deals with, among other things, Zionism, the Diaspora (and their relationship) and the theological implications of both. He is an engaging teacher and very intellectually invested in the contours of contemporary Jewish life, both here and in the Israel. He is extremely popular with the students at Schechter, both Israeli and American. He brings a wide knowledge of modern Jewish thought and a particularly deep knowledge of Zionist thought.
Internationally-celebrated filmmaker Pearl Gluck (http://www.palinkapictures.com/divan_about.html) will teach “American Jewish Cinema,” (see course description below).
Please note: Students may repeat JSTU-J 303 with different topics for a maximum of 9 credits.
Seats are still available in these two courses:
JSTU-J 303 Arts & Humanities Topics in Jewish Studies (3 cr.) Yossi Turner
Zionism and Contemporary Israeli Society
(10 seats have been set aside for Jewish Studies students in #29806: email clipsonw@indiana.edu if you would like to reserve a space in this course.)
MW 4:00-5:15 #27334
This course is intended to 1) deepen the students’ understanding of social, cultural, religious and political realities in present day Israel, and 2) compare these present-day realities with the late 19th and early 20th century Zionist visions that led to the development of the Land of Israel as a Jewish homeland. It is intended that this comparison will deepen the students' understanding of questions and challenges facing Israeli society in the present.

American Jewish Cinema
(15 seats have been set aside for Jewish Studies students in #29810: email clipsonw@indiana.edu if you would like to reserve a space in this course.)
TR 5:30-6:45 classroom #29809; T 7:00-10:00 p.m. film showings
In this course, we will explore quintessentially American media created by Jews, as well as serious representations of Jewish identity in mainstream cinema. Using a historical perspective, we will analyze these cinematic representations in relation to American Jewish history, anti-Semitism, Jewish mobility and immigration through the course of the twentieth century. We will explore the fascinating phenomenon of how Jews have defined themselves and the “American dream” in front of and behind the camera: Various filmmakers, actors, and producers kept their Jewish identity hidden in the celluloid closet, while others used film to express an “ethnic pride.” Through weekly screenings, readings, and discussion we will look at the identity continuum of Jews in American media, from Molly Picon to Sarah Silverman, Eddie Cantor to Ali G, and Carl Laemmle to Steven Spielberg.
Films include: East and West, The Jazz Singer, Cast A Giant Shadow, Gentleman’s Agreement, The Pawnbroker, Annie Hall, and For Your Consideration.

“He did a really good job teaching the course. He gave really good analogies and mnemonic devices that helped me learn a lot of concepts without having to actually memorize the material. I enjoyed his class a lot and am very glad that I decided to take this course with him.”
“He is an excellent teacher who knows how to relate to his students and keep them interested in the subject matter. I feel lucky to have had a teacher who knew how to make his students always feel comfortable to ask questions and participate in class.

Achieving advanced lighting set-ups, sometimes bluescreened, (project-dependent), achieving clean game capture and asset accumulation, and running quality control.
Post-Production & Editing: editing game videos to a high degree of professionalism using a broad range of multimedia software, including LiveType, Motion, Final Cut, AfterEffects, Photoshop, and Cinema4D. Implementing advanced and stylish motion graphics, color grading, and sound design. (Most of our interns fall into this category).

The Undergraduate Scholar
Got papers? Sick of spending hours on a paper that only your professor will see? Looking for a broader audience?
Look no further. The Undergraduate Scholar is currently accepting submissions for their Fall 2009 issue. The Undergraduate Scholar is a student run publication sponsored by Indiana University's Hutton Honors College. We publish the papers of IU undergraduates in all disciplines, but papers should have implications broader than an individual assignment or course. Submissions of all lengths are accepted. The entries are judged by the undergraduate editorial staff based on attention to mechanics, style, informative content, clarity, and contemporary appeal.
To submit a paper for review, students should e-mail their work as an attachment to uscholar@indiana.edu. The paper should be in Microsoft Word format and include a title page with the student's name, local address, permanent address, phone number, and e-mail address. Although we will continue to review submissions sent in throughout the summer, we recommend sending in your paper no later than Friday, May 1, 2009.
If you have any questions, please feel free to e-mail us at uscholar@indiana.edu.

April 24 underground/City Lights double feature
Hello all, this week is the final underground/City Lights screening of the semester, and we have another of our regular double features. City Lights will be screening King Vidor's classic silent film _The Crowd_, followed by the underground presentation of Warren Sonbert's 1971 film _Carriage Trade_. We hope you can make it out for this special screening!
************************
Sonbert's longest film is a dense, intricate montage of images he shot on travels across America and around the world. Sonbert's montage is consciously non-didactic, in opposition to classical Soviet theories of montage. Instead, any hints of narrative or politics in his images are subordinated to editing itself, which is built around an extensive series of visual puns and echoes that work across the entirety of the film. The result is a rigorous formalism that, by challenging us to build our own connections between and among shots, confronts the biases and prejudices inhabiting the modes of cinematic perception to which we have become accustomed. (61 min.)
************************
The underground film series is sponsored by Indiana University's Department of Communication and Culture. All screenings are on alternating Fridays at 7 p.m. in room 251 of the Radio-TV building on the IU campus. All screenings are free and open to the public, and free parking is ample in the lot adjacent to the building, provided you clearly display an underground flyer on the dashboard of your vehicle.

2009 Sir John M. Templeton Fellowships Essay Contest
As a last call and with the deadline of May 1st, I am writing to remind you of the 2009 Sir John M. Templeton Fellowships Essay Contest (http://ethreemail.com/e3ds/mail_link.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.independent.org%2Fstudents%2Fessay%2F&i=1&d=2C8CFE4F-B5BE-422A-836B-37723B77CC0E&e=becker@indiana.edu), which includes separate divisions for both college students and junior faculty members.
The Sir John M. Templeton Fellowships Essay Contest encourages college students and young college professors around the world to study the meaning and significance of economic and personal liberty.
The Templeton Essay Contest awards cash fellowships to the authors of the top three essays, with entries reviewed by a panel of three distinguished scholars. Here is this year’s topic:
“Only a virtuous people are capable of freedom. As nations become
corrupt and vicious, they have more need of masters.”
—Benjamin Franklin
Which virtues contribute the most toward achieving freedom, and how can the institutions of civil society encourage the exercise of those virtues?

Themester Fall 2009
Themester is a College-wide initiative designed to create, explore, and encourage interdisciplinary opportunities for students, faculty and the community. For Fall 2009, the chosen theme is, “Evolution, Diversity and Change.” Within this program, a collection of courses have been identified by departments in the College for their connection to the current theme. These classes have been identified with the Registrar under Other Special Course Offerings as “Themester at the College” with the report code of BLTC. The curriculum bundle may also be accessed at the Themester website (www.themester.indiana.edu).
The intent of the College is that students in these classes will be given special opportunities to explore and experience their education across disciplines, including the potential to combine learning with other classes, hear from guest lecturers and speakers both in class and at campus-wide events, and explore other opportunities such as plays, movies, and exhibits. Students in these classes will receive information about Themester events in the campus and community through an e-mail listserve. And, student work may be nominated by faculty as exemplars of the Themester theme and interdisciplinary cooperation. Selected works will then be recognized and published in an electronic monograph to be retained by the IU Libraries.
For more information, please see the Themester website at www.themester.indiana.edu.

Summer 2009 Undergraduate Courses in Latin American Studies
Space remains in two undergraduate courses in Latin American and Caribbean Studies for Summer Session 2009. Our offering for Summer I is noteworthy insofar as it carries both Culture Studies “A” and A&H credit. The offering for Summer II is noteworthy in that it is an entire course on the social and political dimensions of none other than soccer in Latin America. The instructor for both – Alfio Saitta – is superb.
SUMMER I
LTAM-L211 – Contemporary Problems in Latin America / HIST-H212 – Latin American Culture and Civilization II
(Carries College A&H Distribution Credit and Culture Studies “A” Credit)
Monday through Friday, 2:35-3:50 p.m., BH 136
Instructor: Alfio Saitta (asaitta@indiana.edu)
Course Description and Objectives
This course will survey the history of Latin America from the early nineteenth century to the present. It will examine the region’s relationship to colonialism, modernization, race and ethnicity, nationalism, revolution, populism, and neoliberalism. The core elements of the course are framed by two competing perspectives. On the one hand we will concentrate on the political and cultural markers that define the various periods used to characterize broad changes and the history of the region writ large. On the other hand we will investigate everyday people and their lives in distinct parts of the regions at different moments in the past two hundred years. The first of these perspectives is geared towards following and making sense of the very complex and broad cultural, political, and economic changes that have transformed the region since the early nineteenth century. The second provides glimpses into the real world effects of those shifts, helps us understand their causes, and provides an opportunity to think about the ways in which the personal interacts with the political in diverse corners of the region.
Course Requirements
There are no prerequisites for this course. The course approaches the study of Latin America using methods drawn from history, anthropology, sociology, gender studies, and cultural studies. Throughout the course students will engage selected readings and investigate core themes by exploring a variety of sources, such as original documents, videos, photographs and other types of primary source material in order to compliment assigned readings. Further requirements include short response papers, critical media analysis, and active in-class participation.
Instructor
Alfio Saitta: asaitta@indiana.edu
SUMMER II

Upper-Level N&M for SSI: ANTH-B370 Human Variation
If your students are looking for an N&M during Summer Session I, they might consider ANTH-B370 Human Variation, taught by Frederika Kaestle. There are no prerequisites for the course, and Professor Kaestle does not assume any genetic or biology knowledge beyond the high-school level; she is happy to have freshmen enroll.
The course explores the variation within and between human populations in anatomy, genetics, and behavior. Explored are current hypotheses regarding human variation in a multitude of traits, including skin color, body shape, blood type, response to stress, disease resistance, IQ, and sexual orientation. The topics of this course involve profound questions facing society, and revolve around new and constantly evolving science and technology. Major themes for this course include:
o The principles underlying human variation (genetics, evolution)
o Patterns of human variation today
o The causes of these patterns
o Nature vs. nurture
o Genes and behavior
o The ethical dilemmas of this research
o A historical perspective on this research
This summer Prof. Kaestle will continue her tradition of sequencing mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) from any student who would like to participate, and discussing what insights their sequences provide into their personal genealogical histories.
Student feedback for this course is very positive, and Prof. Kaestle is adept at explaining the material clearly and engaging her students. It's a fun and informative class.
Thank you for helping spread the word!

The 2009 IUB Summer Program in Sustainability (Internships)
This spring Indiana University announced the creation of its first Office of Sustainability. Directed by Bill Brown, the office will continue the work of the IU Task Force on Sustainability, addressing issues of environmental sustainability in campus operations, academic programs, and university-community relations. This summer, we are seeking a group of undergraduate and graduate students dedicated to advancing sustainability at Indiana University Bloomington.
The IUB Summer Program in Sustainability will run from May 11th through August 14th. Funding is available to support up to sixteen sustainability-related internships. Students will be expected to work approximately twenty hours per week over the course of the summer and participate in a 1-credit summer seminar in sustainability taught by Bill Brown. Student interns and their mentors will have discretion in setting their work schedules to accommodate vacation and other commitments. For their summer of service, graduate fellows and undergraduate interns will receive stipends between $2,500 and $3,500 and a 1- credit fee remission for the summer seminar.
To apply, send a brief statement specifying which of the following project(s) interest(s) you most, resume, one letter of reference, and contact information by email tosustain@indiana.edu or by mail to Bill Brown at the Office of Sustainability, Geology 429, Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana, 47405 no later than Friday, April 17th, 2009. General information about the IUB Sustainability Program can be found at https://www.indiana.edu/~sustain. Internship information is also available on the web at https://www.indiana.edu/~sustain/Sustain_Intern/.
Questions regarding internships or the application process can also be directed to sustain@indiana.edu.
1. Campus Tree inventory – Mentors, Mia Williams, Landscape Architect and Rich Thurau, SPEA. Interns will work toward completion of a GIS-based inventory of campus trees. The work will build upon past interns’ data-gathering projects and will complete the inventory of the “core campus” south of 10th St. The complete data set will help us document the ecosystem services provided by trees for storm water capture, pollution removal, and carbon sequestra tion. Interns will work on creation of a new “Woodland Campus” brochure, which celebrates IU’s stewardship of trees on campus and our new distinction as at “Tree Campus USA” from the National Arbor Day Foundation.
2. Campus Recycling Center Feasibility Study – Mentor, Steve Akers, RPS. This internship will focus on a feasibility study for an on-campus recycling center. This concept could take the form of a small center that would accept both traditional items (paper, newspaper, plastic, glass, plastic, metals) as well as specialized recycling items (e.g., household batteries, toner and cell phones, automotive motor oil, textbook/book donations for recycling, clothing, etc.) Such a center could become a hub for recycling on campus, and could help unify all of the currently separate recycling systems on campus. Such a center may also be allowed to serve near-campus apartment complexes. The feasibility study could initially cover research into the recycling needs of the campus community, estimating the volume of material that might be expected, and exploring logistics between outside partners such as Hoosier Disposal and the Monroe County Solid Waste Management District.
3. Prairie Restoration and Labyrinth Development - Mentor, Greg Speichert, Hilltop Gardens. The area of open space at the headwaters of the Jordan River that recently has been converted to a no-mow preservation zone is in need of conversion from non-native and invasive plants to native grasses and forbs. The internship will involve research on preferred natives, propagation of plants, installation, and maintenance of newly planted areas to help ensure their viability. A second component is the development of a labyrinth design within the emerging prairie. The labyrinth will allow people to experience the prairie from within as they walk paths directed with interpretive signage.
4. Campus Energy Metric Development – Mentors, Charlie Matson and Jeff Kaden, Engineering Services. This internship will help provide metrics to help IU Engineering Services study and manage energy use and improve building occupant comfort. Several new buildings on campus will have the ability to provide fine-scale data of building energy use and comfort levels in order to fine-tune building systems. The intern will help develop accurate greenhouse gas emissions coefficients for measuring the IU campus’s carbon footprint, accounting for the power generation mixes in each region.
5. LEED Documentation – Mentors, Charlie Matson and Jeff Kaden, Engineering Services. Assistance is needed in the development of a compilation of previous completed or partially attempted IUB LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) credits. The compilation of human resource and expense estimates will serve as a guide and baseline for future LEED projects at IUB. Additionally, the intern will assist in revisions to Design Deliverable requirements, Design Standards, General Conditions, RFPs, etc. to define LEED certification reporting responsibilities.
6. Funding Opportunities for Campus Sustainability Projects – Mentor, Bill Brown, Director of Sustainability. This intern will research successful models for internal and external funding of campus sustainability initiatives and their relative fiscal impact. The study will include comprehensive evaluation of revolving loan funds for energy-efficiency upgrades and how that strategy could be implemented at Indiana University to fund the initial cost difference between conventional and more energy-efficient projects, with the loan fund repaid from energy savings. This internship would also help to develop the rules of how this fund would operate in such a way as to assure a sustainable return on investment. The intern will help research potential grant funding from government, foundation, corporate and individual sources and assist in creation of case statements, query letters, cover letters and grant applications.
7. Utility Department Media Relations – Mentor, Mark Menefee, Director of Central Heating Plant. This internship will publicize the IU Utilities Department’s current efforts to increase conservation become more environmentally sustainable. Part of this communication strategy will be to provide students easy access to information about energy use on campus and individual energy conservation techniques.
8. Utility Conservation, Academic Buildings – Mentor, Lee Walters, Utility Information Group. This internship will build on past internships that focused on water conservation in some of the highest usage buildings on campus. The intern will expand on previous efforts to examine usage data for trends and inconsistencies, develop communication materials on water conservation, and attempt to link trends in usage to implementation of conservation messages. Additional work will pilot similar initiatives in energy conservation.
9. Utility Conservation, Non-Academic Buildings – Mentor, Lee Walters, Utility Information Group. This internship focuses on a number of IU-owned historic homes and other buildings surrounding the campus, which are used for housing various research centers, office space, and support functions. Part of this initiative will focus on analysis of past utility consumption in these buildings. Database and computer expertise will be needed to format utility data into a useful form and establish priority areas for conservation measures. A second component will involve preliminary energy audits to identify obvious areas for building retrofits and improvements. Additional responsibilities include researching the effectiveness and costs associated with improvements to these buildings.
10. Green Purchasing Guide – Mentor, Tim Rice, IU Purchasing: There is a growing desire among various departments to purchase environmentally preferable products, but often some confusion about which products represent the greatest environmental benefit, and how to obtain these products through IU Purchasing Department. This intern will help create a purchasing guide to help the IU community “buy green” wherever possible. This guide will include office supplies, equipment, cleaning products, and event supplies such as cups, plates and utensils. The intern will research products currently used by departments on campus and help develop price comparisons between traditional and environmentally preferred products.
11. Native Landscaping – Mentors, Heather Reynolds and Keith Clay, Biology: This internship will help to enhance the use of native and locally adapted landscaping to decrease costs and reduce the need for fertilizers, pesticides and irrigation. Use of native species also helps to preserve and showcase the biological heritage of the State of Indiana. This internship will involve: (1) developing a native species database for campus (including species traits and other information needed to design new native plantings), (2) developing educational signage for naturally landscaped areas, and (3) restoring and protecting areas of campus threatened by invasive plants. Additional opportunities exist in the restoration, protection, and scientific monitoring of at risk campus areas, including Dunn Woods threatened by euonymus and the railroad corridor threatened by tree of heaven.
12. Campus Sustainability Reporting Research and Database – Mentor, Bill Brown, Director of Sustainability. Several campus sustainability rating systems such as the Sustainable Endowments Report Card, AASHE STARS, and the Princeton Review are judging the sustainability of colleges and universities through a number of metrics, including examination of the investment portfolio of these institutions. This position would lay the groundwork for improving IU’s ranking in these areas by exploring more accurate and proactive reporting. This research would involve a comparison study of peer institutions to highlight IU’s relative strengths and weaknesses.
13. Presidents Climate Commitment/Climate Action Plan – Mentor, Bill Brown, Director of Sustainability. The Presidents Climate Commitment is often the cornerstone of many university’s sustainability initiatives and is quickly gaining momentum among many peer institutions, including nearly half of the CIC (Big 10) institutions. Currently IU is not a signatory to the Commitment and is thus ineligible for significant funding that is available to signatories for renewable energy projects and building retrofits from the Clinton Global Initiative. This position will comprehensively assess the benefits and potential pitfalls for IU to join this movement and lay the ground work for a Climate Action Plan that could be implemented with or without signing on to the Presidents Climate Commitment.
14. Sustainable Computing and E-Waste Solutions – Mentor, Kristin Hanks, Informatics. This internship will focus on increasing the sustainability of computing at Indiana University. Specifically, the intern will continue current work on e-waste pick-up events where vendors pick up old monitors, cell phones, and other types of e-waste so that it can be handled appropriately, with zero cost to the community. This position could also aid in the Campus Recycling Center Feasibility Study with the creation of a long-term plan for collecting smaller e-waste on campus such as toner and ink cartridges, batteries, cell phones, etc. This position would benefit from a student who is willing to contact multiple people in departments across campus including residence hall managers and outside partners.
15. Environmentally Sustainable Practices at IMU - Mentor, Mark Lame, SPEA. The IMU Dining Services “Sustainability Internship” is being established to illustrate the long standing Public-Private Partnership between Sodexo Campus Services and Indiana University through the evaluation and improvement of environmentally sustainable activities. The Intern will be challenged to work with the management team to develop or enhance efforts in the following areas: local purchasing, recycling, composting, energy usage, integrated pest management, and physical and food safety. The Intern will write a paper summarizing sustainability efforts by IMU Dining Services for Sodexo and Indiana University for publication in a professional/trade journal. (FILLED)
16. Campus Sustainability Assessment – Mentor, Bill Brown, Director of Sustainability. The Indiana University Task Force on Campus Sustainability produced its landmark Campus Sustainability Report in November of 2007. One of the key recommendations of that report was a regular assessment of the campus’s sustainability programs using a number of concrete metrics. The intern will survey former authors and other stakeholders for needed changes, interview task force members, survey other universities’ sustainability reports, define trackable metrics for evaluation, and update and add information as necessary to keep the report timely and accurate and manage the editing, publishing and press release process with a large group of stakeholders.
The IUB Summer Program in Sustainability will run from May 11th through August 14th. Funding is available to support up to sixteen sustainability-related internships. Students will be expected to work approximately twenty hours per week over the course of the summer and participate in a 1-credit summer seminar in sustainability taught by Bill Brown. Student interns and their mentors will have discretion in setting their work schedules to accommodate vacation and other commitments.

1. Campus Tree inventory – Mentors, Mia Williams, Landscape Architect and Rich Thurau, SPEA. Interns will work toward completion of a GIS-based inventory of campus trees. The work will build upon past interns’ data-gathering projects and will complete the inventory of the “core campus” south of 10th St. The complete data set will help us document the ecosystem services provided by trees for storm water capture, pollution removal, and carbon sequestra tion. Interns will work on creation of a new “Woodland Campus” brochure, which celebrates IU’s stewardship of trees on campus and our new distinction as at “Tree Campus USA” from the National Arbor Day Foundation.
2. Campus Recycling Center Feasibility Study – Mentor, Steve Akers, RPS. This internship will focus on a feasibility study for an on-campus recycling center. This concept could take the form of a small center that would accept both traditional items (paper, newspaper, plastic, glass, plastic, metals) as well as specialized recycling items (e.g., household batteries, toner and cell phones, automotive motor oil, textbook/book donations for recycling, clothing, etc.) Such a center could become a hub for recycling on campus, and could help unify all of the currently separate recycling systems on campus. Such a center may also be allowed to serve near-campus apartment complexes. The feasibility study could initially cover research into the recycling needs of the campus community, estimating the volume of material that might be expected, and exploring logistics between outside partners such as Hoosier Disposal and the Monroe County Solid Waste Management District.
3. Prairie Restoration and Labyrinth Development - Mentor, Greg Speichert, Hilltop Gardens. The area of open space at the headwaters of the Jordan River that recently has been converted to a no-mow preservation zone is in need of conversion from non-native and invasive plants to native grasses and forbs. The internship will involve research on preferred natives, propagation of plants, installation, and maintenance of newly planted areas to help ensure their viability. A second component is the development of a labyrinth design within the emerging prairie. The labyrinth will allow people to experience the prairie from within as they walk paths directed with interpretive signage.
4. Campus Energy Metric Development – Mentors, Charlie Matson and Jeff Kaden, Engineering Services. This internship will help provide metrics to help IU Engineering Services study and manage energy use and improve building occupant comfort. Several new buildings on campus will have the ability to provide fine-scale data of building energy use and comfort levels in order to fine-tune building systems. The intern will help develop accurate greenhouse gas emissions coefficients for measuring the IU campus’s carbon footprint, accounting for the power generation mixes in each region.
5. LEED Documentation – Mentors, Charlie Matson and Jeff Kaden, Engineering Services. Assistance is needed in the development of a compilation of previous completed or partially attempted IUB LEED (Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) credits. The compilation of human resource and expense estimates will serve as a guide and baseline for future LEED projects at IUB. Additionally, the intern will assist in revisions to Design Deliverable requirements, Design Standards, General Conditions, RFPs, etc. to define LEED certification reporting responsibilities.
6. Funding Opportunities for Campus Sustainability Projects – Mentor, Bill Brown, Director of Sustainability. This intern will research successful models for internal and external funding of campus sustainability initiatives and their relative fiscal impact. The study will include comprehensive evaluation of revolving loan funds for energy-efficiency upgrades and how that strategy could be implemented at Indiana University to fund the initial cost difference between conventional and more energy-efficient projects, with the loan fund repaid from energy savings. This internship would also help to develop the rules of how this fund would operate in such a way as to assure a sustainable return on investment. The intern will help research potential grant funding from government, foundation, corporate and individual sources and assist in creation of case statements, query letters, cover letters and grant applications.
7. Utility Department Media Relations – Mentor, Mark Menefee, Director of Central Heating Plant. This internship will publicize the IU Utilities Department’s current efforts to increase conservation become more environmentally sustainable. Part of this communication strategy will be to provide students easy access to information about energy use on campus and individual energy conservation techniques.
8. Utility Conservation, Academic Buildings – Mentor, Lee Walters, Utility Information Group. This internship will build on past internships that focused on water conservation in some of the highest usage buildings on campus. The intern will expand on previous efforts to examine usage data for trends and inconsistencies, develop communication materials on water conservation, and attempt to link trends in usage to implementation of conservation messages. Additional work will pilot similar initiatives in energy conservation.
9. Utility Conservation, Non-Academic Buildings – Mentor, Lee Walters, Utility Information Group. This internship focuses on a number of IU-owned historic homes and other buildings surrounding the campus, which are used for housing various research centers, office space, and support functions. Part of this initiative will focus on analysis of past utility consumption in these buildings. Database and computer expertise will be needed to format utility data into a useful form and establish priority areas for conservation measures. A second component will involve preliminary energy audits to identify obvious areas for building retrofits and improvements. Additional responsibilities include researching the effectiveness and costs associated with improvements to these buildings.
10. Green Purchasing Guide – Mentor, Tim Rice, IU Purchasing: There is a growing desire among various departments to purchase environmentally preferable products, but often some confusion about which products represent the greatest environmental benefit, and how to obtain these products through IU Purchasing Department. This intern will help create a purchasing guide to help the IU community “buy green” wherever possible. This guide will include office supplies, equipment, cleaning products, and event supplies such as cups, plates and utensils. The intern will research products currently used by departments on campus and help develop price comparisons between traditional and environmentally preferred products.
11. Native Landscaping – Mentors, Heather Reynolds and Keith Clay, Biology: This internship will help to enhance the use of native and locally adapted landscaping to decrease costs and reduce the need for fertilizers, pesticides and irrigation. Use of native species also helps to preserve and showcase the biological heritage of the State of Indiana. This internship will involve: (1) developing a native species database for campus (including species traits and other information needed to design new native plantings), (2) developing educational signage for naturally landscaped areas, and (3) restoring and protecting areas of campus threatened by invasive plants. Additional opportunities exist in the restoration, protection, and scientific monitoring of at risk campus areas, including Dunn Woods threatened by euonymus and the railroad corridor threatened by tree of heaven.
12. Campus Sustainability Reporting Research and Database – Mentor, Bill Brown, Director of Sustainability. Several campus sustainability rating systems such as the Sustainable Endowments Report Card, AASHE STARS, and the Princeton Review are judging the sustainability of colleges and universities through a number of metrics, including examination of the investment portfolio of these institutions. This position would lay the groundwork for improving IU’s ranking in these areas by exploring more accurate and proactive reporting. This research would involve a comparison study of peer institutions to highlight IU’s relative strengths and weaknesses.
13. Presidents Climate Commitment/Climate Action Plan – Mentor, Bill Brown, Director of Sustainability. The Presidents Climate Commitment is often the cornerstone of many university’s sustainability initiatives and is quickly gaining momentum among many peer institutions, including nearly half of the CIC (Big 10) institutions. Currently IU is not a signatory to the Commitment and is thus ineligible for significant funding that is available to signatories for renewable energy projects and building retrofits from the Clinton Global Initiative. This position will comprehensively assess the benefits and potential pitfalls for IU to join this movement and lay the ground work for a Climate Action Plan that could be implemented with or without signing on to the Presidents Climate Commitment.
14. Sustainable Computing and E-Waste Solutions – Mentor, Kristin Hanks, Informatics. This internship will focus on increasing the sustainability of computing at Indiana University. Specifically, the intern will continue current work on e-waste pick-up events where vendors pick up old monitors, cell phones, and other types of e-waste so that it can be handled appropriately, with zero cost to the community. This position could also aid in the Campus Recycling Center Feasibility Study with the creation of a long-term plan for collecting smaller e-waste on campus such as toner and ink cartridges, batteries, cell phones, etc. This position would benefit from a student who is willing to contact multiple people in departments across campus including residence hall managers and outside partners.
15. Environmentally Sustainable Practices at IMU - Mentor, Mark Lame, SPEA. The IMU Dining Services “Sustainability Internship” is being established to illustrate the long standing Public-Private Partnership between Sodexo Campus Services and Indiana University through the evaluation and improvement of environmentally sustainable activities. The Intern will be challenged to work with the management team to develop or enhance efforts in the following areas: local purchasing, recycling, composting, energy usage, integrated pest management, and physical and food safety. The Intern will write a paper summarizing sustainability efforts by IMU Dining Services for Sodexo and Indiana University for publication in a professional/trade journal. (FILLED)
16. Campus Sustainability Assessment – Mentor, Bill Brown, Director of Sustainability. The Indiana University Task Force on Campus Sustainability produced its landmark Campus Sustainability Report in November of 2007. One of the key recommendations of that report was a regular assessment of the campus’s sustainability programs using a number of concrete metrics. The intern will survey former authors and other stakeholders for needed changes, interview task force members, survey other universities’ sustainability reports, define trackable metrics for evaluation, and update and add information as necessary to keep the report timely and accurate and manage the editing, publishing and press release process with a large group of stakeholders.
