Upstate Institute Offers Students to Help Organizations
Colgate's Upstate Institute is accepting applications from organizations interested in hosting an Upstate Institute Summer Field School Fellow during the summer of 2010. The Field School is a partnership between the Upstate Institute and nonprofit, government and community organizations. Student Fellows undertake projects that will have a positive social, economic, cultural or environmental impact on the Upstate region and will allow organizations to increase their capacity.
Students complete projects for the organization by working full-time for 8-10 weeks during the summer. In past years, students have conducted surveys, gathered data, developed training programs, worked with clients, participated in program development and written grants. Descriptions of projects done in past years are available on the Upstate Institute website, under the Field School section.
The Upstate Institute Summer Field School is a reflection of the mission of the Upstate Institute: to create linkages between Colgate University and the regional community to engage students, faculty, staff and residents in research and a reciprocal transfer of knowledge that will enhance the economic, social and cultural capacity of the area and sustain the environment.
Community, nonprofit and government organizations interested in hosting a Field School Fellow should complete a Field School Application and submit to the Upstate Institute by March 1, 2010. Applications are available on the Upstate Institute website.
