This fall, we have just added a new course to the schedule called "Environmental Science Literacy" 375:197. Syllabus here. This course fulfills the ITR and 21C SEBS core curriculum requirements and has no prerequisites. It will be taught by Val Krumins, whom you may know from 375:203 Physical Principles. This course teaches introductory-level computer skills such as Microsoft Word and Excel. It also focuses on current issues and readings including "Silent Spring" and "Omnivore's Dilemma". Because this is an entry-level course, I will count it as an elective in the Environmental Science major, but only for people in the early stages of their major. If you would like me to approve it as an elective for you, email me.

Agriculture internships
We begin our internship program in Ag Entrepreneurship on Monday June 5. We have opportunities for volunteers who wish to learn about production and marketing of ethnic and mainstream crops in New Brunswick area.
Internship options include:
Indoor Cultivation (Vertical/ Horizontal Hydroponics and Geoponics) & Field crop production and Postharvest handling, and
Crop Production (Indoor & Outdoor) and Produce Marketing
Internship duration is from June 5-November 30, 2017. The volunteer is free to decide when to start and end his service during this period.
Volunteers have flexible work hours but need to give a week's notice to the supervisor about weekly availability.
A minimum of 20 hours a week (or four hours a day) is required for the volunteer to qualify for a lunch subsidy of $10/day.
The hands-on experience in our internship program is a treasure for those who one day might get involved in gardening, crop production and marketing.
We produce fresh and market fresh!
"Eating Fresh is Eating Smart"
If interested and wish to learn more please email me by Friday May 26!
