Hello!  I am pleased to announce that Stevenson College and the Environmental Studies Department will be offering internship opportunities this Spring Quarter for the Stevenson Garden.  

The Stevenson Garden is the first college-specific garden on the East side of campus. Supported by students from all over campus and the staff and faculty at Stevenson, the garden is looking to take on 2-3 garden coordinators to keep the garden thriving.

Interns will be responsible for:

• General management of the Stevenson Garden -- including oversight of the recently approved garden expansion
• Attending Gardener’s Alliance Gatherings and representing the Stevenson Garden’s voice in the campus-wide garden community
Attending “Path To A Greener Stevenson” (PTAGS) meetings to keep student input flowing into the garden.
Supervise work hours at the garden site every week.
Coordinate with PTAGS, the other coordinator and the Garden Core

Ideal interns will have:

• Horticultural experience
• Strong leadership qualities
• Ability to work independently
• Professional communication and organization skills
• A strong passion for growing food and communities
• A love to get their hands dirty and work in the earth

2-credit and 5-credits options available.  

Note: 5-credit upper division options need Environmental Studies advisor.
