Each year, Sustain IU pairs students with organizations through the Indiana Sustainability Development Program’s summer fellowship opportunity. The Climate Fellows program allows students to work in a full-time professional setting, addressing sustainability issues, while also helping to combat the loss of workforce talent in sustainability.
The fellowship places an emphasis on climate change mitigation and adaptation. Four O’Neill IUPUI students are included in this year’s Climate Fellows cohort:
- Ciana Rose Sorrentino: Master of Public Affairs in Policy Analysis
- Fellowship location: Kentuckiana Regional Planning and Development Agency
- Jonathon Lewis: Sustainable Management and Policy
- Fellowship location: August Mack Environmental
- JD Sparks: MPA in Environmental Policy and Sustainability
- Fellowship location: Solar United Neighbors
- Halee Griffey: Sustainable Management and Policy
- Fellowship location: City of South Bend
Two O’Neill IUPUI students, Halee Griffey and Jonathon Lewis, shared their experiences in the program and what they hope to accomplish.
