Hello!
This blog is going to be covering my experiences as a Sustainability Internship at Rosemont College, spring semester of 2025, and the many projects myself and other community members are working on at the end of this school year. This semester, the projects I plan to focus on are:
- Establishing a Re-wilded area outside of Connelly Hall, rich with native plants, to help support our ecosystem and our planet
-Establish a community vegetable garden behind Hefferman Hall, for students personal use and for use in our dining hall, to ensure our students have access to healthy and organic produce, and help them connect with the process of growing food
-Assist with the installation of a rain barrel at the Delaware County Intermediate Unit (DCIU), to help them in their continued environmental and sustainability work, in gardens previous interns have established
-Present on my work and discuss the importance of environmental education at our Earth Day climate teach-in, to get more students, staff, and faculty involved in our work around campus
I will be working on these projects in tandem with members of the Catholic Climate Covenant Committee (CCCC), which I am a member of, and the Rosegrow Environmental Student Coalition, which I am the student president of.
Please follow along for more updates on these projects, see how you can get involved, and how we are working to make our planet healthier and our world more sustainable, one small community action at a time!
Xx Mia Hoppel, Sustainability Intern
