Introducing...

Bruce's 3 new Sustainability Interns! Here's the scoop:

Colleagues,

I’m pleased to announce the appointment of three new sustainability interns; Molly Dilg, Katie Elliott and David Sullivan. Each of the interns brings a substantial record of green advocacy and leadership, to support and enhance sustainability efforts at CC. As a team, the interns and I will form the core staff of the emerging Sustainability Office at CC. Based on current priorities, we divided responsibilities in the following way:
David Sullivan – coordinating and providing resources to the ongoing CC sustainability website redesign, facilitating communication and acting as liaison between the sustainability office, the sustainability council and ENACT
Katie Elliott – planning and implementing the new “CC Sustainability Tours” program offering the campus a behind the scenes look at the ongoing greening of CC, coordinating CC participation in sustainability webinars and teleconferences
Molly Dilg – coordinating and promoting CC participation in the effort to prevent Lexam for drilling for gas near the Baca campus in Crestone, collecting information on available technologies and solutions for making our CC transportation fleet more green friendly
All three interns will help our office:
coordinate campus publicity about the upcoming CC energy audit and sustainability plan through the Brendle Group
connect to regional sustainability efforts such as the Earth Day Planning Committee, Focus the Nation, a local green ballot initiative, and connecting to Colorado Springs Utilities
assess possible programs proposed by external consultants and corporations interested in partnering with CC on sustainability projects
the interns offered to assist the Campus Sustainability Council and its subcommittees as needed

Our new interns join the sustainability interns working out of the college communications office. We will be coordinating our work. This is so exciting.
