SUNY Oneonta Students Intern Independently with the Office of Sustainability

Two SUNY Oneonta students are interning independently with the Office of Sustainability during the 2024-25 academic year.

Zoe Rex, a dual major in Business Administration and Fashion and Textiles, is the Office of Sustainability's social media intern. During the internship, Rex is creating the Office of Sustainability's Instagram posts, a social media guide for future interns and the office's monthly newsletter. Rex's internship is funded through the Office of Sustainability's temp service budget.

Patrick Sullivan, a dual major in Environmental Sustainability and Geography, is a Citizens' Climate Lobby intern. Sullivan is working alongside one of the students in the Empire Service Corps program to start a chapter of the Citizens' Climate Lobby for higher education on campus while encouraging students to vote and consider climate change when choosing their elected leaders. Sullivan's internship is funded by a donation from alumnus Jean Lown '72.

Both Rex and Sullivan will graduate in the fall 2024 semester but will continue their work into the spring semester.

The Office of Sustainability typically has between four and six interns per semester. Internships are open to all students, from any major, eager about sustainability.
