When it comes to helping care for our planet, it’s all hands on deck. Our Environmental Leaders programs aim to connect UF students to environmental research, education & outreach, and civic engagement opportunities.
- UF TESI Environmental Leaders Network: Undergraduate and graduate students here at the University of Florida who have an interest in environmental topics can join the Environmental Leaders Network at any time!
- UF TESI Environmental Leaders Fellowship: This pilot program brought together students from diverse majors and backgrounds and provided them with the knowledge, skills, confidence, and network to advocate for the planet as they take on leadership roles in their respective careers.
- UF TESI Environmental Communicators Internship: At TESI, student Environmental Communicators are valued team members making important contributions to our mission. Communicators develop social media content, write newsletter articles, create videos and more, all focused on communicating Earth systems issues to Floridians, and beyond.
