Are you interested in teaching other students about sustainability? Would you like to improve your presentation and communication skills? Are you looking for a way to encourage peers to take action on sustainability here at UMD?
The Office of Sustainability is seeking Sustainability Advisors to teach first-year students about sustainability and ways to get involved with sustainability initiatives on campus. Sustainability Advisors visit UNIV 100, HONR 100, Scholars Colloquium, and other first-year seminar classes to teach a 60- minute lesson. You would receive self-paced training in May and in-person training in early September. You would then teach the lesson to classes throughout September-November based on your availability.
To Apply: Submit an application through this form. You will need to attach a short (1-2 minute) video of yourself explaining why you want to be a Sustainability Advisor, what courses you’ve taken that have increased your understanding of sustainability concepts, and if you are involved with sustainability-related clubs/projects on or off campus.
Prerequisites: Advisors must be current University of Maryland undergraduate students with at least sophomore standing (exceptions may be made). A minimum 3.0 cumulative GPA is recommended. Advisors are expected to have a strong interest in sustainability, a professional work ethic, and a desire to help others adopt sustainable practices. Students in all majors are encouraged to apply.
Time Commitment: The time commitment is about 5-7 hours of presenting, primarily in the fall semester. Training requires additional time.
Pay: This is an unpaid, volunteer position.
Deadline to Apply: March 29, 2023 for best consideration.
