The group has a remote office on the edge of campus near the baseball fields. It would be useful to integrate the organization more thoroughly into campus life. In addition, the organization could be helpful in organizing field trips for faculty. The University provides excellent experiential education in environmental studies. Students have the opportunity for field and laboratory experiences and are often placed in internships near the end of their undergraduate education.
Graduate students have the opportunity for internships as well.
Individual Departments are quite active in placing students in environmental positions. Although the environment on campus is improving, we have a long way to go to make the campus environmentally friendly. The campus is not a good example of how to develop a sustainable community. There is little emphasis on alternative energy, energy conservation, water conservation, xeriscape, alternative transportation, and recycling. The administration needs to look internally to students and faculty for environmental expertise in developing a more environmentally friendly campus.
