Spring Salvage Jobs Available Yale Recycling and the Office of Sustainability are seeking undergraduate and graduate students to serve as Program Assistants leading up to and during Spring Salvage in May 2015.
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION: Spring Salvage is an annual resource recovery program coordinated by Yale Recycling and the Office of Sustainability during undergraduate move-out. The program is run in Yale’s twelve undergraduate dorms and collects donations of soft items (e.g. clothes, shoes, towels and bedding) and hard items (e.g. chairs, bookshelves, beds, futon frames, and other large items). In 2014, over 60,000 lbs. of material were collected and donated to Easter Seals Goodwill Industries.
JOB DESCRIPTION: Program Assistants will play critical roles in Spring Salvage by hauling donated and recyclable items from student residences at the end of the semester and facilitating dormitory move-out operations.
Work will consist primarily of hauling furniture, room furnishings and other items discarded by students to specified locations for donation, recycling, and trash. Program Assistants will be expected to serve as liaisons between Facilities/Recycling and key personnel in their work zones: custodial staff, hired contractors, masters, deans, dining services, and students.
Spring Salvage will take place over two phases in May:
Phase 1: Underclass Move-Out, April 27-May 9
Phase 2: Senior Move-Out, May 18-May 21
The majority of Spring Salvage Program Assistants from Phase 1 will also be needed during the second phase of work, which takes place May 18, May 19 (Peak Day), and May 20. Please note that there will also be work in between Phases 1 and 2.
Spring Salvage Program Assistants will be managed by Facilities/Recycling and the Office of Sustainability. The Office of Sustainability will work with students to obtain post-term housing as needed.
TO APPLY: Candidates must submit a resume, one-paragraph statement of interest, and exam schedule to ryan.laemel@yale.edu with the subject line “Spring Salvage Program Assistant.”
The deadline to submit is Friday, March 6, 2015, at 9:00pm EST. Interviews will be conducted the week after spring break (March 23-March 27).

Biomimicry Global Design Challenge - $100K Prize The Biomimicry Global Design Challenge is hosted by the Biomimicry Institute, in partnership with the Ray C. Anderson Foundation, and is open to students and professionals around the world.
We believe that, by applying nature’s design principles, we can create solutions that help support a healthy planet. The Institute’s goal is to build an artery of sustainable innovation inspired by nature and to help bring more biomimetic solutions to market.
We do this by running a Global Challenge that provides innovators who care about the planet with the tools and support they need to design creative and elegant solutions to seemingly intractable problems. We shepherd the most viable solutions to market or implementation by providing incubation support and introducing top teams to governmental, non-governmental organization, and private sector partners.
Every two years, the Biomimicry Institute selects a key sustainability issue as a broad theme and focus for the Global Challenge. Each year, we offer a design concept round followed by a prototype round. Thus, any given theme will feature two design concept rounds, over the course of two years, each followed by a prototype round.
The Global Challenge features two entry categories: an open category and a student-only category. All participants get access to our Design Challenge Toolbox and supporting resources, including sessions with mentors and biomimicry professionals. Those who submit to our design concept rounds are eligible to win substantial cash prizes, as well as additional business incubation support and the opportunity to compete in the prototype round. The winner of the annual prototype round will receive the Ray C. Anderson Foundation’s $100,000 “Ray of Hope” Prize.

Interns must be self-motivated and work well in group settings.
Applicants should be prepared for strenuous summer work outdoors (e.g. field research and land management projects) as well as indoor work when necessary (e.g. data entry and GIS projects).
Special Considerations: Housing may be available this year. Please indicate whether you can commute to our location each day or will need/prefer housing.
Public transportation in our area is unfortunately also limited, so it is preferable that interns have a car. Interns may also be asked to use their own vehicle for some work (with mileage/gas reimbursement).
To apply and learn more, please visit this website. The application deadline is March 15, 2015

· Turning environmental data into understanding
· Community engagement
· Pollution prevention and sustainability
Institutions whose project proposals are selected will serve as 2015-2016 TRI University Challenge partners. Partners will receive direct non-monetary support from EPA TRI staff experts, and, depending on the outcome of their project, may receive national recognition for their project as well as speaking opportunities at conferences and events. Applicants who are not prepared to submit project ideas this spring are encouraged to submit project proposals during the next open application period.
More information about the challenge, this year’s priority topics, and details about upcoming informational webinars will be posted on the TRI University Challenge website.
