Seattle Audubon is gearing up to launch Canopy Connections, an exciting new citizen science project to map all of the trees in Seattle. Canopy Connections relies on citizen scientists to record local tree data which contributes to a city-wide, collaborative urban tree map. Our goal is to map and inventory the urban forest, taking into account overall health and size of canopy cover. Think of this as a ‘census for trees’—an exciting and engaging opportunity for anyone to directly assist with urban forest conservation.

Comment from previous Peer Instructor:
“Not only do I now have the capability of teaching a class of non-native English speaking students, but I have an increased competence in working with a large teaching team and coordinating events amongst multiple parties to ensure the efficacy of lesson plans and safety of field trips. The Keio program gave me a taste of what I want to do and what I will always incorporate into my life…I am so proud to have been part of something so wonderful.”
Positions will be filled on a rolling basis in spring quarter 2012. Some experience in environmental studies and/or Japanese studies is preferred, but not required.

This job lead comes from PoE alumna Emily Staskowski (2010) who writes:
I am currently the vendor manager for home furnishings at Amazon. Vendor manager is basically Amazon’s fancy internal term for a buyer. Home furnishings is a category under the larger Home team, which is hiring for these brand specialist roles. I actually started as a brand specialist when I first graduated, and was promoted to a vendor manager last year. It is really a fantastic role for recent grads to help build experience and also put them on the fast track for a career at Amazon. Don’t worry too much about the experience requirements, we have had several people start as a brand specialist right out of college – myself included! We are really just looking for bright and motivated people. I think there are 3-5 positions open.
