SIP Team 2024-2025

About

The Office of Sustainability partners with the Student Sustainability Council and sustainability-related offices and units from across the campus to provide advance sustainability initiatives in exciting and meaninful ways.

Interns are paid $15.55/hour for 8-10 hours of work per week. The internships start in mid-August and follow the academic calendar through the end of the spring semester in early May. Interns will work with their mentor on supporting a specific sustainability unit on campus, developing an independent project, and participating in a professional development series with the full cohort of interns.

How to Apply

Applications for the 2025-2026 SIP cohort will open in Spring 2025. All undergraduate students at the University of Kentucky are welcome to apply, provided they:

  • Are enrolled in at least one class during the Fall 2025 semester.
  • Have a graduation date no sooner than May 2025 (unless returning as a previous SIP intern).

Students may apply for multiple positions within the SIP. However, each position requires a separate application submission. For questions or assistance with the application, please reach out to Carlie Laughlin, our Sustainability Program Coordinator, at carlie.laughlin@uky.edu.
