Application and Hiring Information

The CU Environmental Center will have a number of student employment position openings for the 2008-09 academic year.

The Environmental Center educates, activates and inspires the campus community to understand and engage in local and global environmental issues. E-Center student staff work on projects that make the University of Colorado at Boulder campus more sustainable and make a positive impact on the community. Many programs and projects have led the way nationally for sustainable improvements at other universities and communities. Undergraduate and graduate students from diverse majors such as (but not limited to) communication, political science, engineering, business, architecture, biology, education, and environmental studies work with the CU Environmental Center.
