Campus Sustainability Fellow 2012-2013 School Application
Program Overview - The Campus Sustainability Fellows (CSF) program will support upper-class undergraduate and
second year masters or graduate student internships to provide assistance to individual Duke schools with sustainability
initiatives and assessment. Fellows will work with Sustainable Duke to identify, collaborate with and provide resources
to staff and students who are interested and engaged in sustainability and workplace greening. Specific tasks could
include conducting departmental level GHG inventories, connecting with existing green teams (if applicable), assisting
departments with completion of the Green Workplace Certification, conducting waste audits, evaluating water usage, as
well as other sustainability initiatives. Projects will be centered on a theme for each year, such as waste reduction, that
is connected to the priorities of the Campus Sustainability Committee (CSC) for that particular year. Fellows will report
school assessments and progress to the CSC to better connect their efforts with campus sustainability priorities.
FY13 – Pilot program will include three Fellows with a fourth Fellow from the Nicholas School Assistantship program that
will assist the Sustainability Director with coordination of the program. Fellows will work an average of 10 hours per
week at $10/hr. FY13 theme – Waste Reduction – could address topics such as recycling, reuse, composting, source
reduction, supply chain management, etc. all related to decreasing the impact of the campus waste streams. Specific
projects will be determined by Fellows and schools in coordination with the Sustainability Director.
