Sustainability Internships & Applied Learning

Sustainability Internships & Applied Learning

The Sustainability Internship Program allows you to gain valuable work experience, learn new skills, and expand your knowledge of sustainability practices. While these internships are voluntary, unpaid internships can often be utilized for academic credit. Our interns have gone on to work in a wide array of jobs related to sustainability. 

Interns have the opportunity to choose the projects they work on, and pursue something they are passionate about. Historically students have completed a wide range of internships with the Office of Sustainability. These internships have covered a  wide range of of topics including event programming, projects management to development and implementation of Green Action Fund proposals. These internships can also offer you the opportunity to work with a wide range of community partners.
