As a part of our eco-friendly internship, we are actively looking into ways to make our digital and environmental internship program available to those in the local area. Derek has been working closely with Michigan State University in an effort to help bring his digital curriculum to interested students. The timing on this project has seemed to have proved synchronous; MSU has recently launched their Be Spartan Green initiative in an effort to make their campus and campus-wide activities more sustainable.
The page serves as an all encompassing resource to students, faculty and staff, including a general description regarding what it means to Be Spartan Green.
MSU has created Environmental Stewardship Teams that aim to learn how their campus uses energy. By researching the costs, behaviors and education regarding environmental issues, more effective and holistic solutions may be drawn up. The site also has a list of past and present environmental projects taking place around campus. This serves as an all around excellent resource for those who want learn about the improvements MSU has made in the classroom and community.
I find it especially worthwhile that Be Spartan Green not only provides as a reference, but also promotes interaction with members of the community by encouraging to send them any relevant green ideas that you may have. Additionally, they have a variety of interactive tools to help bring environmental stewardship to your department or academic niche.
Be Spartan Green will serve as an extraordinarily valuable learning tool for the eco-friendly intern team as Ingenex works on bringing our digital curriculum to East Lansing. MSU presents a program that in our day and age must be considered a necessity rather than a luxury. I hope that with the remainder of my time working for Ingenex, I can utilize my background in the environmental sciences to help bring our internship program to MSU in a seamless, relevant and totally beneficial manner.

Connections are everything these days. In our high-tech society, it is essential to maintain a level of digital literacy to avoid your competition leaving you in the dust.

There is no doubt that online social networking sites have revolutionized the way that we interact on a daily basis. However, these tools can be far more than the latest way to interact with your friends (although, personally I find myself doing this on the daily…) When utilized in a clean and professional manner, these sites can help you meet connections and build powerful social networks than can help you get a job, excel at that job and just generally serve as the gateway to many possibilities. Social Harbor is unique in that there is no other service like it currently available to help professionals enter the digital sphere with such vigor and credibility.
