Summer Internship

The Coastal Sustainability Studio has offered summer internship programs for motivated students in an exciting, challenging, interdisciplinary environment. Qualified candidates with an interest in landscape and data representation, public policy, planning, ecological restoration and design have worked in collaboration on a variety of projects.
