Hey All!

My name is Tyler Grinberg and I am a member of ESSA (Environmental Sciences Student Association).

In the past we have been more of a social group for environmental sciences students but this year we have decided to head off in a new, exciting, direction.

We came to the conclusion that there are already a wide variety of environmental and sustainability based groups on campus and instead of doing more of the same we will focus our efforts on helping these groups in their efforts.

In order to achieve this, ESSA acts as a large volunteer force providing the workers needed for events hosted by other organizations. The first event that we contributed our work force toward was a Strawberry Creek restoration project hosted by the College of Natural Resources (10-11-08).

The other focus of ESSA is more socially based. We host movie nights, provide student-student academic advising, and fun activities. At our last meeting we had a Q&A session concerning courses for the upcoming semester and things to consider during each member's respective telebears session. We are also jumping on board with the AEP (Association of Environmental Professionals) to coordinate job opportunities and inform students on what environmentally minded students can look for in career options. We are also hoping to do such activities and hiking, kayaking, star gazing, and a camping trip next semester.

If you are interested in the environment and want to help out while having a fun time with students who are interested to similar topics as you, then come to one of our meetings to see what we're all about!

Peace,
~Tyler Grinberg~
