Hello Professors!
I hope you all are settling into the fall semester and things are going well for you. It’s been a crazy start for the Office of Sustainability, and now we’re gearing up for football games!

We’re needing lots of volunteers, particularly for football games!

We have several interns lined up, but could always use more.

Plus, we have 5 paid regular student worker positions open and 13 paid Work Study positions open, so lots of opportunity for folks to get paid doing meaningful work on campus!

And, we’re always looking for great projects to improve the sustainability of campus, and have lots of money in the Green Fee.

If you could pass along the message below to students in your classes and programs, as well as other colleagues who would be willing to do the same, that would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!!

 

Students,

The UT Office of Sustainability has significant needs for volunteers, particularly for football gamedays.

They are also seeking interns AND paid student workers to carry on the great work they do on campus. They have 18 paid positions available RIGHT NOW! It’s all a great way to gain experience in the field and improve campus!
