Sustainability Fellows

Sustainability Fellows are appointed to one-year positions (August-May for most fellowships). They take a one-credit course each semester, which meets one time each week, where they learn about how the College operates in regards to sustainability, read journal articles and news media about current events in sustainability and environmentalism, develop leadership skills, and work together on their projects.

Each Fellow develops their own project idea, as well as fulfilling the duties outlined in their position description. They all participate in Sustainable Move-Out each May, and our annual Earth Week in April. Fellows also receive opportunities to represent the College for events like Admitted Students Day, being interviewed in the Grizzly, and being a part of photoshoots for promotional materials. Our Fellows often choose to present their work at CoSA as well!

Students entering their sophomore, junior, or senior years are eligible to apply for all fellowships. There is no major or minor requirement to be a Fellow - we’ve had Environmental Studies, Biology, Dance, Economics, International Relations, Politics, History, and Anthropology majors, to name a few! You do need to have a passion for sustainability, helping others, and working as part of a team, as well as a desire to keep learning and growing.
