EDF Climate Corps Info Session

Over the last 6 years, Environmental Defense Fund has worked with graduate students from the Anderson School of Management through our EDF Climate Corps fellowship program. On behalf of our program, I would like to invite you to join our staff for our summer 2014 summer fellowship On-Campus Information Session.

The event is set to take place on Tuesday, November 19th from 11:30am to 12:30pm in Cornell Hall, D307. During the presentation, you’ll have the opportunity to meet EDF staff, hear about fellow alumni projects from this past summer, and learn how our fellows help our network of EDF Climate Corps host organizations save energy and money.

EDF Climate Corps is Environmental Defense Fund’s innovative summer fellowship program that places specially-trained graduate students in companies, cities and universities as dedicated energy problem solvers. EDF fellows have helped hundreds of organizations, including numerous colleges and universities, identify energy projects that could save over $1.3 billion dollars.
