At Elmira College you can be involved with environmentally minded activities in many different ways. From student clubs to administrative committees, classes to local and abroad internships, you can involve yourself as much as you can imagine.
The EC faculty, in collaboration with the EC Environmental Club and all of the EC community, began hosting an annual Climate Teach-In seeking climate solutions and justice. Our goal is to have productive, informative discussions about solutions in our own community and abroad. Last year we had many students volunteer to moderate panels of experts from in and out of the community to discuss these important issues.
We have an active environmental club on campus. The club has recently built an Augmented Reality Sandbox for demonstrating environmental processes as well as organized a new recycling plan for the school, and many other initiatives. If interested in joining email tbrowning@elmira.edu
As Elmira College moves toward becoming more sustainable the Long Range Planning Committee has started a subcommittee called the EC Sustainability Committee. This committee is focused on blending three different types of sustainability on campus: environmental, fiscal, and social. The committee is made up of senior administrative staff within the college, faculty, and students. This is the committee where you can have a say in the environmental direction of your college. Contact tbrowning@elmira.edu if you are interested in joining.
We identify four leaders (one in each graduating class) to help move sustainability forward on campus. These Sustainability Leaders have access to a separate house for office and planning space. Their primary duties are as follows: Planning and executing a sustainable initiative on campus. Research how to best incorporate sustainability into building renovations, using a designated space as a practice area for those renovations. For example, researching lighting, carpeting, or painting options by determining the best sources for materials that balances the impact on the environment and on people with financial constraints. Once researched, students receive assistance in implementing the project and can test the results.
All students at EC are required to complete a hands-on internship either locally or abroad. You can use this opportunity to give yourself a leg up in the hiring process. We have relationships with many local, regional, and international agencies such as Tanglewood Nature Center, Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center, City of Elmira, the New England Aquarium, the New York State parks system, and the Gerace Research Center, among many others.
