'During my internship with the Exeter Sustainability Team, I was immersed in a dynamic and collaborative environment that deeply enriched my understanding of sustainability in education. Working alongside a supportive staff, the interns and I took on the challenging task of auditing university modules against the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and Exeter’s Transformative Education Framework. This involved interviewing lecturers at the Penryn campus, an experience that provided valuable insight into the practical application of sustainability principles within curriculums. 

The internship was highly interactive, with constant feedback that made me feel truly engaged in the project. My contributions were not only heard but also implemented, which reinforced the importance of collaboration and active participation. The staff's consistent support and guidance were instrumental in helping me navigate the difficulties of the project. By the end of the internship, I felt a strong sense of accomplishment, having contributed meaningfully to a project that aligns with global sustainability goals.'

Juliette is a Masters student having just graduated with a BA in geography. She loves the Body Society at the Uni and doing Pilates and running.  

Coming from an academic background in geography, the opportunity to see the practical side of what I was learning about making the world more sustainable and applying it to a higher education workplace setting was so fun and interesting for me. I enjoyed working with academics and seeing the great effort they were making to get their students involved with sustainability.

Knowing I was working on a project that was making a difference was also very fulfilling, as everyone should have the opportunity to learn about sustainability and how it is affecting the world around us. I would recommend fellow students to go for roles that you feel passionate about making a difference with.
