Subject: "Campus Sustainability Fellow" Position opening at The Hill
School

 

Good morning,

 

I am currently the Sustainability Coordinator at The Hill School in
Pottstown, PA, a grade 9-12 boarding and school where I work part-time.
This is a recently-established program that got off the ground this year
with a school-wide environmental sustainability theme.  I am moving and
we are looking for a person to continue to develop the program,
preferably someone who has interned or otherwise been involved with a
college sustainability program.

 

If you could post this for your students to see, or pass it along to
someone who might be interested, I would greatly appreciate it.  If you
have any questions, please call or write.


Thank you very much.  

 

-       Kristin Cheek
