About the Program:
The Internship Program in
Sustainability uses campus as a living-learning lab, enlisting students as
researchers in investigating important questions facing our community, such as:
- How do the ways in which our campus operates and consumes
resources affect the social, environmental and economic well-being of our
community?
- How is our campus’ impact connected to more complicated
global issues like
- climate change, resource scarcity and poverty?
- What opportunities do we have as
individuals, institutions, communities, and governments to increase
collective social, economic and economic health, and how do we best
communicate these opportunities?
- How will we adapt and ensure all people have the ability to
thrive in response to dynamic climate conditions and limitations on
resources?
Through
internships co-mentored by staff in operations and faculty members, interns
conduct research and develop programming focused on general sustainability
outreach and education or in specific topic areas such as food, transportation
or resource use.
