EIC Collegiate Sustainability Fellows

The EIC Collegiate Sustainability Fellow is a year-long opportunity for four students, one selected student from each college, to collaborate with EIC staff, Director, and campus community on sustainability-themed projects. The overall goal is to create interdisciplinary sustainability initiatives focused on the EIC, particularly how the EIC engages with campus community and in Southeastern Michigan.
