CUERP Sustainability Fellowship Opportunities

A vital component to Loyola University Chicago and to CUERP’s mission is the guidance of students through their education, ensuring a rewarding academic and vocational experience. 

Hands-on work in the projects CUERP is leading does just that. CUERP provides opportunities for students to get deeply involved in its urban environmental initiatives and the CUERP Sustainability Fellowship Program is designed to help students define their long-term career goals through experiencial learning beyond the classroom.

CUERP has Enivronmental Sustainability Fellowships available for a variety of positions across the university so check back here regularly:

Check back each semester in order to see what is available.  Also note that CUERP offers both Faculty and Undergraduate Research Fellowships for faculty and students who would like to propose a specific research project that is within the scope of CUERP's research goals.  That information can be found at: www.luc.edu/cuerp

Internships through CUERP's Partner Organizations

Generally, internships (both paid & non-paid) and volunteer opportunities may be available with the following organizations that CUERP has worked with either presently or in the past:

Another resource to look for hands-on learning opportunities is through Loyola University Chicago's Center for Experiential Learning (CEL).  The CEL serves students, faculty, staff, and community partners as a resource for community-based experiential learning opportunities and partnerships.
