Sustainability Marketing & Outreach Intern

at UMBC Office of Administration and Finance
UMBC intends to use spendable income, generated from the roofing endowment, to provide support for a UMBC/France-Merrick Sustainability Intern. Specifically, this student will be responsible for the following:

1. Drive awareness on sustainability efforts, including the new vegetated roof at the Administration Building, throughout campus.

2. Work in partnership with the Administration to engage and educate their peers about environmental sustainability and climate change including components of science, social justice, and social responsibility,

3. Engage and educate their peers about UMBC’s commitment to becoming a leading campus in sustainability.

4. Assist the Climate Change Task Force in facilitating behavior changes throughout the community to ensure UMBC is carbon-neutral by 2050, through participation in broader working groups.

The summer internship is 30 hours/week for about 15 weeks - from May to August. Hours will be flexible but primarily will fall between 9am to 5pm weekdays.

The first project for the first 4 weeks will be to research and design content for an energy conservation campaign- to communicate the impact that changing everyday choices has and what UMBC is doing about climate change.

For the remainder of the summer, the intern will develop a sustainability outreach leadership program. The program will offer training to a team of students who will then work as a team to conduct lessons and outreach on sustainable practices students can adopt on campus. The summer intern will also assist in outreach and marketing, as well as recruiting and training students.
