Internship and Job Opportunity

Do you want to work on the most profound challenge of our time? Apply to work with Environment America; we’re working to protect the planet. We’re working to stop the worst effects of climate change, to end water pollution and we’re fighting to protect our special places from mining and drilling. Our team is tackling these issues on multiple fronts. If Congress is gridlocked, our team is organizing to advance our issues at the state, local, legal or corporate levels. Different responsibilities that come with working for Environment America may include government relations, coalition building, campaign strategy and media outreach. We are looking for candidates who are strong advocates able to persuade and cultivate relationships, strategic thinkers, and passionate about making a change. If you want to take action now or are curious about any current campaigns, an overview of why we want to declare the Dolores River Canyonlands a national monument is below. If you want to be a part of the change, sign the petition to save Colorado’s public lands. Environment America is hiring entry-level staff to start immediately and to start in summer 2024.

Thank you for taking the Fall “How are you doing this term?” survey!

In fall quarter, the university sent all undergrad students a one-question survey asking how you were doing, and we’re happy to share some results with you!

We’ve run this survey every fall for four years, and this year, a notable positive trend emerges in student well-being at DU. The percentage of respondents reporting feeling good or better increased significantly from 54.8% in fall 2021 to 66.3% in fall 2023.

In addition, the survey included an opportunity for you to share comments about resources that would be helpful. We found that many of the suggestions were for resources that already exist at DU, but that students might not have heard about. For example, many students mentioned access to health and counseling services. Please remember that you have access to several resources through the Health and Counseling Center and 24/7 access to counselors through TELUS Health. 

For more information about the many other resources that we have to support you at DU, please check out the DUhelp website
