UW-Madison Office of Sustainability

Internship Location: Madison WI

Organization Type: State Government

Policy Areas: Environment, Energy, and Sustainability Policy

As an intern at the Office of Sustainability, I am on three teams: Green Office, Green Events, and Academic Research & Writing. Through my work on these teams, I have developed skills including client consulting, public speaking, conducting literature reviews, and presenting research. This intern program works in service of campus sustainability policies. We focus on clean energy goals, zero waste goals, educational campaigns surrounding various environmental topics, and campus policy. I recommend this internship to students who are passionate about the environment and want to work towards furthering campus sustainability. This internship and the people I have worked with have helped prepare me for a future career in environmental law or policy by providing advice and real-world experiences in this field.
