Hello ENVS!! Welcome back to campus and get ready to kick your studies back into gear! We are so excited to be offering a new opportunity for ENVS Club — a space where students can take charge of their own department through planning events, volunteer opportunities, and more. ENVS Club is the perfect chance for students to gain leadership experience within the environmental field and make a difference in their community. With rampant freedom and inspired ideas, we are so excited to see what you all do!

Hey everyone! We are hoping your final season is off to a good start so far. We are releasing our winter newsletter in preparation for these busy few weeks. In it, you’ll find a number of study tips, some cozy ideas for the winter, and many fun and relaxing events for this week. Stay safe and sane! You’ve got this.

Join us for the ENVS Internship Panel in Waterman tonight!! We will be discussing possible positions, connecting with other ENVS students, and guiding you through professional development in the environmental field. We will also have pizza and other refreshments.

Looking forward to seeing you there!

Happy Monday, ENVS students! The program has some exciting events coming up over the next month that we wanted to make sure were compiled in one place for everyone. Mark your calendars and don’t miss out on these opportunities! 🗓️

Hi ENVSer’s! The UVM Career Center and Environmental Studies Program have been working on bringing an exciting opportunity to campus: an environmental internship panel! 👷‍♀️🌿 They are looking for a few more student panelists to talk about their experiences in an internship during their college career. This is a great opportunity to reflect on your experience, connect with the ENVS community, and exercise/develop public speaking skills — plus, it’s a great resume builder. 📝

The link to sign up is in the ENVS bio, or reach out directly to event coordinators [email protected] and/or [email protected]. Hope to see you there! 👋
