From the tabling activities that engage you to discourse with your peers to the team bonding activities to the leadership qualities you gain, the internship has helped me immerse more into my life at Texas A&M.”

“Being an intern for the Office of Sustainability is rewarding in so many ways. I’m immersed into Texas A&M’s sustainable efforts and am now directly involved with educating peers on said efforts. The workshops and outreach events are invaluable. Being able to educate myself on so many topics related to sustainability and then teaching and nourishing that knowledge to peers is something I can’t just do anywhere. The relationships made are long lasting and open up many networking possibilities. This internship is overall a perfect opportunity to apply the knowledge you’ve learned in undergrad while working with a team.”

“The best part of this internship has been the relationships that I have formed. I have become good friends with the other interns and view the staff and student employees as great role models. The Office of Sustainability is such a supportive community to be a part of and it is obvious that everyone truly cares about you. It also provides you with a collaborative space where you can learn from each other.
I have improved my public speaking skill as well as my graphic design skills. There have been many opportunities throughout the semester for me to enhance these skills, such as campus sustainability day and our live virtual talks. Some of the things I have done I would have never been able to do without the experience I have gained with the Office of Sustainability!
