Past Student Employees
|
In the past, students have found a way of taking a lead role in environmental issues and community sustainability by getting involved with the Environmental Policy Institute. By becoming active in the EPI or its initiatives, students have also developed contacts with others active in the field, have gained research experience and have become leaders on campus on sustainability issues. This experience has been especially beneficial for students in environmental programs.
Listed below are some of the students who have worked with the EPI. If you would like to get involved, let us know: epu@grenfell.mun.ca
