The Washington State Department of Ecology has partnered with Washington Sea Grant to create the new Washington Applied Sustainability Internship (WASI) program. This is a paid 10-week internship for college students to work with a business on pollution prevention and sustainability projects.
The WASI program is open to junior, senior and graduate students, as well as recent graduates, in business, economics, engineering, environmental science, green chemistry, physical science or sustainability science. For the summer of 2022, the program has partnered with two organizations. Students can work with Harborview Medical Center on a waste reduction project, or with Crane Aerospace & Electronics on a project investigating safer firefighting options by looking at alternatives to aqueous film forming foam. Read the full details on these projects.
The application deadline is April 22, 2022 at 5 p.m. Click here for full internship details and information on how to apply. Interested students should contact Deborah Purce at sgfellow@uw.edu to share their plans to apply.
