Summer Energy Horizons Application
Thank you for applying to the summer 2019 Energy Horizons program hosted by the Dartmouth Sustainability Office and the Irving Institute for Energy and Society. This trip will run from June 10th - June 19th 2019.
Applications are due Monday, April 8th, by 10 PM. Interviews with applicants will be held as needed. We will announce trip attendees by the end of the day on Friday, April 12th.
We are seeking applicants from diverse backgrounds and with a range of extracurricular and academic interests. Previous involvement with sustainability, energy energy systems, earth sciences, health, or environmental justice work is not required. Ideal applicants will:
- Be willing, ready, and excited to learn about energy systems from a broad and diverse group of stakeholders
- Be flexible, willing to go with the flow, able to put the group’s needs before their own wants, but also able to communicate when their needs aren’t being met
- Be emotionally present and open-minded to hearing different points of view and having dialogue across difference
- Be able to commit time to both attending the trip, but also attending preparation education sessions in spring term
We expect participants to commit to attending the program in its entirety. A consistent cohort of participants enables deeper group discussions and collaborative work, so please plan to be present for all sessions! We will provide meals for the duration of the program.
Trip Fee: $400 covers ALL of your expenses including meals, travel, programming, and housing for the entire duration of the trip. Financial aid is available via a simple 3 question application. If you’re worried about the cost, please apply and we will work with you to make the trip possible!
