One of the biggest pleasures of working on the IU Energy Challenge has been getting tapped into the broader initiative to promote environmental sustainability on the IUB campus. This summer, I am honored to continue this effort by participating in the second summer internship program sponsored by the Sustainability Task force. I will be joining 19 energetic students from diverse backgrounds, who will each be working on projects to bring sustainable initiatives into various aspects of campus operations and academics. My particular project will be a continuation of my capstone work; I will be looking at ways to leverage utility data to raise awareness about resource consumption on campus.

In addition to the project work, all the interns will be meeting in a weekly seminar, where we have open-ended discussions, guest speakers, and occasional trips to green networking events in the state. Its basically a high-energy think tank for campus sustainability. We will be blogging about our discussion here. All in all, it promises to be a very engaging and productive summer.
