Collegiate Leaders in Environmental Health (CLEH) is a 10-week (Wednesday, June 13, 2012 – Friday, August 17, 2012) summer environmental internship for undergraduate students who are passionate about the environment, interested in human health, and curious about how they are linked.
Interns will be placed in environmental health programs at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Center for Environmental Health and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (NCEH/ATSDR) at CDC's Chamblee Campus. Over the course of the summer, interns will be exposed to a broad overview of environmental public health issues at the federal level.
Interns will participate in environmental health projects, interact with federal officials and scientists, and visit important environmental health sites in and around Atlanta. Other activities include "brown-bag" lunches with CDC staff, as well as attending lectures from prominent environmental health leaders in the Atlanta area. In addition, interns will be able to attend the many seminars offered by CDC during the summer.
A stipend of approximately $600 per week will be provided for living expenses. Travel to Atlanta will be the intern’s responsibility. Potential housing options will be provided on the housing page; however interns will be expected to make their own arrangements. Applications are open now, but the deadline for applying is February 1, 2012.
The application is available at: Collegiate Leaders in Environmental Health (CLEH)
