A brief description of how the student educators are selected (1st program):
Interns go through an application and interview process to be selected for available positions. Academic year interns work throughout both semesters on items such as creating a 'green team bag lunch series', or an analysis of the feasibility of implementing alternatively fueled buses on campus. The research and findings of the inters is then made available to others through the office of sustainability website.
A brief description of the formal training that the student educators receive (1st program):
Interns attend weekly seminars to enhance knowledge related to sustainability. An example of such a seminar includes touring the Central Heating Plant on campus.
A brief description of the staff and/or other financial support the institution provides to the program (1st program):
All internships for the Office of Sustainability are funded positions, where graduate students earn $11 per hour for 10-15 hours over a 16 week period, and undergraduate interns are awarded $9 an hour for the same time period. Each intern has a mentor that he or she works with throughout the duration of their internship.
