Paid summer internship

PAID SUMMER JOBS WITH PENNENVIRONMENT!

The Fund for the Public Interest is a national non-profit organization that works to build support for progressive organizations across the country.  We've run campaigns for USPIRG, Environment America, the Human Rights Campaign, the Sierra Club, Greenpeace, and Fair Share Alliance.

This summer, we are running an office in Philadelphia, PA to build support for PennEnvironment's campaign to save the bees.

Millions of bees are dying off every year, putting our ecosystem and food supply at risk. Bees pollinate most of our food: everything from apples and broccoli to coffee beans and chocolate. 

One of the major reasons is a relatively new type of pesticides called neonicotinoids, or "neonics," which are about 6000 times more toxic to bees than DDT. Scientists, farmers and beekeepers have sounded the alarm, and now PennEnvironment is running a campaign to educate the public and build public support in order to get the EPA to ban these dangerous chemicals. 

This is your chance to spend your summer working for a great cause, while gaining valuable campaign leadership experience and making on average between $9-15/hour. 

JOIN OUR CAMPAIGN OFFICE TODAY!

Scholarship: due April 30

This spring, the NJ Society of Women Environmental Professionals (NJSWEP) offered a scholarship to undergraduate and graduate students that either are from NJ or going to school in NJ. The deadline has been extended to April 30 to encourage more applicants. I wanted to share this with you so you could potentially let other students know about it.

Though there is not much time left to apply, it is a great opportunity. This scholarship will also be available next year.

Below is the link to the website briefly explaining the scholarship and the application is attached as well.

Summer Study Abroad at Oxford (England)

Oxford University is offering a summer program with emphasis on the environment.  UK Higher Education is quite different from ours, and as a result this program does not appear grant course credits, at least not in the way we think of them.  However, if you interested, come see me and we can figure out a way to get this experience to count toward your degree.

Earth Week celebrations

My name is Ashley Sidhu and I am VP of Students for Environmental Awareness. Earth Week is on Friday, April 22nd, and in celebration, several organizations on campus are holding events that discuss environmental topics. As secretary to the chair of the environmental science department, I was wondering if you could distribute this email throughout the department list serve so that students and professors can peruse and attend events during the week.

SEA is holding three free movie screenings this week. On Monday 18th, Take Back the Tap and SEA are showing Flow. Wednesday 20th, SEA is showing Antarctic Edge and on Thursday 21st, we are showing Catching the Sun. All events will serve food and the 20th & 21st events will include post-film panel discussions. Environmental Science majors will find these events relevant to their interests and provide them with both leisure and education. Attached are the flyers for the events and below is the website that lists the details.

Thank you so much! I hope you can send this out to as many people as possible!

Best,

Ashley Sidhu

Study abroad in Brazil

Dear students,

Every year SEBS sends several undergraduate students to visit the University of Sao Paulo in Brazil to participate in their annual Undergraduate Research Symposium.  We are now soliciting applications from students who wish to go on the trip next October.  Accepted students must work with their research advisors to write an abstract by the end of June and must prepare a poster describing their research for presentation at the symposium in Brazil in October.

This is an opportunity to present your research at an international venue.  By visiting the University of Sao Paulo and interacting with their students you will gain an appreciation of Brazilian culture and their way of life.  In return for a free trip to Brazil in October, we ask that you help out with the reciprocal trip when a group of students from the University of Sao Paulo visit Rutgers in April, 2017, to present their research at the George H. Cook Honors Symposium.

If you wish to go on the trip this year please contact Dr. Gerben Zylstra at zylstra@sebs.rutgers.edu.  The deadline for applications is Wednesday, May 4.  A panel of SEBS professors will review the applications and the results will be communicated by the end of May.  Those selected for the trip must submit an abstract on their research (written with their advisor) by the end of June.

Because this summer's Jr/Sr colloquium was cancelled...

Many of you had registered for 015:405 Ethics in Science this summer as your jr/sr colloquium requirement, only to have the course cancelled. I investigated options, and this is what I was told:

There is one Jr/Sr colloquium taught this summer: 11:607:382 CONFLICT MANAGEMENT PRACTICUM 3 credits. It is mostly online.

Another option is 11:607:385 The Ethical Leader 3 credits. This course isn't a colloquium, but we are working with Academic Standards to have it count towards the colloquium requirement.

A third option is to pick another course in the 607 subject code and let me know. I can send that to Academic Standards also.

Big changes to the Environmental Science major

Hi all,

Over the last two years, the faculty of the Environmental Science program has been working to re-design the Environmental Science major.  One of the most important drivers of this effort was the need to make the major more flexible so that transfer students would have a better chance of finishing in the normal four years (two at the county college and two here).  The changes have now been approved and will go into effect for students entering the program in Fall of 2016 or thereafter.  However, you can always choose to graduate under the new revised program if you prefer.  The revised program is not yet visible in degree navigator--it will be entered over the summer.  For now, you can look at the requirements of the new major below and check off your courses to see if the new requirements would benefit you.

If you want to graduate under the new revised major, you should come see me in late August or the first week of fall classes to make sure you are on track. 

This blog post does not constitute a contract or other promise about your curriculum.  Nothing is official until it shows up in degree navigator.

Seniors graduating this May of 2016 are NOT eligible to choose the new revised major.

The new major keeps the same three option of Environmental Science (ES), Applied Environmental Science (AES), and Environmental Health (EH).  The requirements of the new major are below.
