There are many opportunities to get involved in the advancement of sustainability
at WKU. The Office of Sustainability offers work-study positions and internships as
available for project-specific work. Below are some project opportunities waiting
to be matched up with a student with the right skills and expertise.
WKU Student Garden
The WKU Office of Sustainability is seeking students to help with the development and maintenance of the Student Garden at the WKU Farm. The garden is open to all students that want to lend their expertise or learn sustainable gardening skills. Students can get involved in the garden by volunteering, enrolling in the ICSR 301 course, Growing Sustainably in the Student Garden, or through project-based internships for course credit (must have sponsorship and approval from academic department) or stipend, if available.
If you are interested in sustainable gardening and like to get your hands in the soil, contact us.
