During 2005-06, Elon established the Environmental Council Intern program, which provides an annual stipend to selected students who develop projects that raise awareness about the environment, sustainability and conservation. The application deadline for 2006-2007 awards is April 3. Details and an application form for the 2006-07 year can be found on at http://org.elon.edu/physicalplant/env-aware/cr.htm.
The program is sponsored by the Environmental Ad Hoc Advisory Council, a group chaired by Gerald Whittington, vice president for business, finance and technology. The council, which seeks to raise awareness of environmental issues such as energy conservation and sustainability on campus, will provide a stipend annually to as many as four Elon students who will act as Environmental Council Interns, with additional funding available for supplies, travel and other expenses. As interns, students will develop generally yearlong projects to raise awareness or improve university practice on issues related to the environment and conservation.
Applicants must be currently enrolled juniors or rising seniors with an interest in the environmental goals of the council. Each intern will be mentored by a member of the council and will be encouraged to participate in group activities while working on their own projects. The stipend for the year will be $4,500 and up to $500 for supplies, travel and other expenses.
The deadline to apply for the program for the 2006-2007 academic year is April 3. Successful applicants will be notified by April 12. Request an application from the Office of the Vice President for Business, Finance and Technology, or download one by clicking here:
