Students of landscape architecture learn practical skills that can be applied to environmental and other community challenges before graduation. To help place students in positions to be policy changemakers, Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ has created a new Student Policy Internships resource that highlights policy opportunities.
From internships in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives to governors¡¯ offices, state legislatures, and more, the web resource is filled with internships and resources cultivated by the Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ Executive Committee.
Several internship listings include contact information for hiring managers who are part of an Executive Committee member¡¯s professional network. These valuable resources demonstrate the committee¡¯s dedication to supporting the future of the profession.
Given the opportunity to shape policy, students can help fight:
- Climate change
- Biodiversity loss
- Environmental injustice
- Transportation safety concerns, and more.
?
Just by being an intern with policymakers, regulators, and advocacy organizations, students can help raise awareness of the profession. For example, a state lawmaker who has learned about the health, safety, and welfare impacts of landscape architecture from an intern is more likely to support licensure against deregulation threats.
