Spring 2011 Interns
The Center emphasizes learning by doing. We engage in local and regional issues with an eye toward the transferability of ideas, looking not just at the science needed to solve our most pressing environmental problems, but also at the social implications of our work, the needs of our community, and the social or cultural acceptability of solutions to environmental issues.
The Center awards 3 to 5 competitive internships a year, and one of our most important goals is helping students achieve theirs. Project-based learning gives students the opportunity to integrate the science, law, economics, politics, aesthetics and ethics that influence environmental decision-making at the local and national level. CES hopes to endow students with a vision that, no matter what careers they choose, will permanently enrich their lives and make them problem-solvers, explorers and stewards of the world.
