Two Green Opportunities for LLCC Students

RiverWatch Training Scholarship


Become a RiverWatch Citizen Scientist and help monitor and protect local streams!

The Green Center is offering two scholarships for students interested in attending the Illinois RiverWatch Network Training Workshop on Saturday, April 21 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Benedictine University (Dawson Hall, Room D11). The registration fee, which will be covered by the Green Center, is $50. The scholarship application is due March 16 and can be downloaded at the Green Center website.


Participation in the Springfield SDAT Program


The Springfield Sustainable Design Assessment Team (SDAT) Steering Committee is looking for LLCC students to participate in their program. Springfield has been selected as one of seven communities participating in the American Institute of Architect’s Center for Communities by Design, which brings together architects and other local professionals to create a roadmap for communities seeking to improve sustainability. Participation would allow students to see policy and planning related to sustainability first-hand. The SDAT team will be in Springfield May 7-9. Students who wish to participate for all or part of that time may be asked to assist with: errands, drawing computer graphics, research and collaboration, and assisting with development of a PowerPoint presentation. Interested students should contact Melody Lamar at malama@uis.edu.
