Last week’s Capstone Meet & Greet for ENVIR 490 students was a smashing success! Great food, interesting people, and eager students makes for a great time and a wonderful opportunity to network. 

For those of you who don’t know, the Meet & Greet is an opportunity for students enrolled in pre-Capstone (ENVIR 490) to engage with organizations hosting Capstone internships. The event is much like a job fair, where students get a chance to meet prospective Site supervisors, learn about internship offerings, and practice their networking skills. Participating organizations span local, state, and federal agencies, non-profit groups, and businesses. This quarter we had 38 unique projects from more than 21 host organizations. Projects cover a range of topics as diverse as our students, including policy & regulation, education & outreach, business & sustainability, natural science & restoration, & urban agriculture & food systems.

Thanks to all the Site supervisors, students, faculty and staff that attended and made the event possible!

The Capstone is a great way for PoE students to get involved in volunteer internships that have positive impacts on the environment and community, but you don’t have to wait. Check here, the PoE blog, frequently for regularly posted opportunities like jobs, internships, volunteer work, studying abroad, and more!
