Leadership Opportunity
Calling all student
environmental leaders!
Are you looking to take your environmental leadership to the next level?
National Wildlife Federation’s Campus Ecology Program is currently accepting applications for our 2013 class of Campus Ecology Fellows.
NWF’s Campus Ecology Fellows confront climate change on their campuses and help to educate andengage the campus community on climate action solutions. Monetary fellowship grants are awarded to undergraduate and graduate students working with members of the faculty, staff, or administration on projects designed to help address climate change impacts and to protect wildlife and habitat on campus and beyond. In addition to a modest grant, Fellows also receive project support, leadership development, recognition of their accomplishments and other perks.
This year’s Fellows will have the unique opportunity to work with one of four of NWF’s crucial “Keep The Wild Alive” campaigns:
• Stopping Expansion of Dirty Energy
• Safeguarding Wildlife and Habitat in the Appalachian Forests
• Protecting Wildlife in Urban and Suburban Habitats
• Clean Energy Solutions
Please visit www.nwf.org/Fellows to learn more and access application materials
Don’t delay! Applications are due March 31st!

About the Conference
Theme:
Taking
advantage of the tremendous social, geographical, and environmental
opportunities that the greater Pittsburgh region has to offer, we have chosen
the following theme: Linking Rural and Urban Societies and Ecologies. This theme
will help us think more about social-ecological systems in an increasingly
urbanized and politicized world, and it will allow us to explore salient topics,
such as food, architecture, climate change, water, business, energy,
transportation, education, values, fairness and wellbeing, among many other
possibilities.
About the Association for
Environmental Studies and Sciences:
A major
aim of AESS is to encourage engagement with today's socio-ecological challenges
by serving the needs of environmental scholars and scientists who value
interdisciplinary approaches to research, teaching, and problem-solving (learn
more about our association here; our journal here). The meetings provide an incredible opportunity to
engage with a diverse range of environmental scholars and practitioners through
sessions, workshops, receptions, and excellent plenary talks. AESS is
particularly accessible to young scholars and students, providing opportunities
to network and grow.
