Internship – Open to All Students – E4 Coalition Writer

Center for Rural Partnerships

What is the E4 Coalition?

In early 2005, a network of institutions, communities, organizations and landowners began to form a coalition. The mission of this coalition was to find creative solutions to expand economic opportunity, implement new technologies for forest-based energy, promote local self-sufficiency and sustainability, find new uses for forest products, cultivate local food production, preserve valued forest landscapes, and enhance the quality of life in communities that are connected to our forest resources. This group, who ultimately decided to call itself the E4 Coalition (Economy, Ecology, Energy, and Entrepreneurship), continues to grow and develop creative ways to promote more sustainable forest-based economy in the Northeast.
The Center for Rural Partnerships at Plymouth State University is seeking a positive, outgoing individual for the position of E4 Intern. The successful candidate must be a strong writer who has an interest in sustainable development. Duties of this position will include research, phone interviews and writing articles for the E4 Coalition webpage.

The Plymouth State University Police Dept. currently has two vacancies for the hourly/work-study position of Student Campus Safety Officer.

As a student, being a SCSO provides a unique opportunity to achieve three important goals:

   1. To make a meaningful, substantive contribution to the day-to-day quality of life on campus and to enhance the sense of security and well-being for your fellow students by engaging in proactive crime prevention activities;
   2. To improve your interpersonal and communications skills sets; and
   3. To enhance your resume so as to attract the attention of law enforcement recruiters after graduation

We look for students to join our program who have a sincere interest in those goals. What we do not look for or want in our program is a student who (a) is into an ego/power trip who enjoys lording authority over others, or (b) wants to use his/her position on campus as a guy/chick magnet for persona/social reasons. We want young people who would like to make a difference and be part of a team whose only reason for existing is to keep this campus safe. Starting pay rate for Student Officers for fall ’08 will be $7.25/hr. Uniforms are provided. You supply your own footwear.

The hiring process for the SCSO position includes a panel interview, polygraph exam, and background investigation.
