OFFICE OF SUSTAINABILITY AND ENVIRONMENT INTERNS CONDUCT RESEARCH, SOLVE PROBLEMS When the University of Iowa Office of Sustainability and the Environment (OSE) moved into the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences in 2019, one of the primary goals was for the office to foster and facilitate student research in disciplines throughout the college and university. We are proud to be accomplishing our mission! During the 2021–2022 academic year, in addition to supporting ICRU research scholarships, OSE directly supported 16 paid undergraduate internships. Interns, who represent a dozen majors, work closely with staff to develop projects based upon their academic interest. The goal of the internships is to complement classroom learning with experiential/applied opportunities. Interns often develop projects in concert with faculty, staff, or community organizations, with the support of a broad range of campus stakeholders. Students focus and conduct research on a variety of issues, from prairie reconstruction and campus biodiversity to food system research to lead contamination in K-12 schools. I invite you to meet these bright and innovative OSE research interns and learn about their work—and to let us know when you have a research project we can help you conduct!
