Suggest a Project

Please complete this form if your organization is interested in hosting an EcoStudio student intern from UNC-Chapel Hill.

Internship requirements include:

• A project that can be completed in 6-10 hours/week over a semester (~15 weeks) or a more comprehensive project designed for a full academic year (two semesters or about 30 weeks).
• A mentor who is a permanent staff member and would be available to meet regularly with the student, provide guidance throughout the semester, and answer questions from both the intern and the faculty advisor in a timely manner.

Summer internships can have flexible hours, but the total number of hours worked should be similar to an academic semester. In order for the student to qualify for three academic credits, students need to work at least 135 hours in the semester that they seek credit.

Mentors are welcome to extend a semester-long internship to a second semester or full year if both the student and mentor agree it would be beneficial. Year-long internships are encouraged as they allow for more in-depth projects and comprehensive learning experiences. The total hours and credit structure for year-long internships should be discussed with the faculty advisor, as they may vary depending on the specific program and project requirements.

Note: Some users may see an IT related error message upon submission. This is due to UNC firewall restrictions trying to limit outside entities posting too much information in a form. If this happens to you, please email your project information or screenshots to ecostudio@unc.edu for them to enter in on your behalf.
