Please help with Internships for Students!

To all current Environmental Club Members/Alumni/Friends,

The Environmental Science and Policy Department at CSULB is in the process of gathering information on Internship positions in the  environmental and related fields.

If you have done an Internship, are currently doing an Internship, or know of Internship positions that occur seasonally, annually, etc., please send Carol Philipp <cphilipp@csulb.edu> or Tiffany Chen <tchen3@csulb.edu> this information so we can disseminate this information to our current students seeking Internship positions.

We really appreciate your assistance in helping our students to succeed. Go Beach!

The environmental student organization and alumni really benefit from this because we sent out all of the internships available to our current & past members. The CSULB Environmental Club hopes to continue giving everyone opportunities in the environmental field even if they are not ES&P majors or have already graduated.

Thank you

This Saturday...

Hello ES&P People,

You should come participate, if you can, in the State Wide Coastal Clean up day this Saturday September 25th from 9am to noon at the Colorado Lagoon (Directions can be found here: map)

They will need help picking up trash, fixing their beach fence, planting some plants, and more!

If you are looking to carpool, you can contact Michael at (714) 342-7782

 

Also, for those of you that attended the meeting Wednesday…. it was mentioned there would be two clean-ups…well, unfortunately there won't be. =)

They happen to fall at the same time on the same day. Sorry for the confusion. There will only be one clean up this weekend.

Hope you can make it,

ES&P Announcements

Hello Club members!

We hope you all are surviving the first couple weeks of the semester. Just wanted to fill you in with some exciting events coming up this week.

 

First off, we will be having an Eco-Garage Sale Co-op Saturday September 11^th from 8am-3pm(?).  We will be accepting donations, so if you are looking to get rid of any lingering "junk" (items) you are encouraged to donate.  If you wish, you may give 50% of your earnings to our club (and pocket the other 50%).  You may drop off your items at Nicole's house (4208 Clark Ave, Long Beach, CA 90808), preferably before the morning of the garage sale. To arrange a day and time for drop off, please don't hesitate to contact Nicole at nbullum@aim.com or at (562) 714-0989.  

If you have nothing to sell, come and support the club by shopping around at the garage sale.  And remember, one person's trash can very well be another person's treasure. 

Also, our 1^st club meeting will be Wednesday September 15th at 12:30 PM in USU 305.  Stop on by to meet our new officers, get info on upcoming events, help welcome our guest speaker (Paul Laris), eat pizza and have fun.

 

We hope to see you there!

BONFIRE POSTPONED!

Hi Everyone,

First off I would like to apologize for such late notice because we have decided to reschedule the bonfire due to unforeseen circumstances. We tried to reserve a pit around 1:00pm today but by that time we arrived all the spots for bonfires were already taken by other people at Bolsa Chica. That being said, the officers thought it would be ideal to reschedule the bonfire to a later date, potentially during the semester at some point. Again we all apologize for any inconvenience that this may have caused you guys and I hope you all enjoy the rest of your Saturday afternoon.

Thank you, see you all once the semester starts!

Bonfire this Saturday!

Hello Wonderful Club Members!

       Come join us at Bolsa Chica State Beach this Saturday at 5:00 PM for a bonfire.  Meet fellow ES&P Club members, eat some good food, and enjoy the beach!  The club will be providing veggie dogs, but feel free to bring some snacks/drinks(non-alcoholic only)/s'mores to share if you'd like.

Parking:  Parking is $15 in the Bolsa Chica beach parking lot, but is FREE in the parking lot by the Jack in the Box at PCH and Warner Ave.

Pit:  Once we reserve a pit, most likely in the early afternoon on Saturday, we will send out another email, letting everyone know which pit we will be at.  So check your email before heading off to the beach so you can find us better.  Also, email us your cell number if you would rather get a text as soon as we grab a pit.

Directions:  http://maps.google.com/maps?rlz=1C1SNNS_enUS380US380&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=bolsa+chica+state+beach&fb=1&gl=us&hq=bolsa+chica+state+beach&hnear=Long+Beach,+CA&cid=0,0,16027800008726653175&ei=LpNqTJa2F4T4swOZ5Mw8&sa=X&oi=local_result&ct=image&resnum=4&ved=0CCMQnwIwAw

Bring some friends, and hope to see you out there on the beach!

EECO Committee First Event

Hello Beautiful Club Members!

 

I trust all had amazing summers.  We soon start off another school year and I wanted to fill you in on a potential opportunity for involvement with the Environmental Education and Community Outreach Committee.  Alli and I will be attending the training below to help out with the Ballona Wetlands (part of the Santa Monica Bay restoration) open houses. We hope to expand this Env Education opportunity in collaboration with the wetlands as the semester continues.  Let me know if you would like to join us.  I will arrange for a carpool situation if there are takers:)

 

Alli and I have also come up with some great ideas for the semester and we are stoked to share them with you and get your ideas:)  Our first meeting will most likely take place a couple weeks into the semester, so keep your ears/eyes open for more info.  Feel free to hit me up if you have any questions, comments, or ideas. Enjoy your last few weeks of summer!

 

Peace

 

Trish

Co-Chair ECCO Committee

 

 

I wanted to let you know about an outreach opportunity at the Ballona Wetlands for you guys to participate in.  The SMBRC is looking for student participation in our outreach Open House events to be held monthly at Ballona (open to the public).  We will be leading tours (beginning in the Fiji Gateway area in Area A).  We are looking for volunteers to assist us developing this program and eventually to continue by leading some of the tours for children, etc.

If you are interested, please attend either our first training session:

Wednesday, August 18^th (0900-1130); and/or our first open house event:

Saturday, August 21^st (0830-1200)

 

(If you would like to participate, it's important that you try to attend one of these events – preferably the training session).  If you know of any education students who might also be interested in this opportunity, please feel free to forward on this notification and/or have them contact me.  I'm also attaching a PDF with a few more details about the event (our Ballona newsletter).

 

Additional important dates to keep in mind… Our next bacteria sampling event:

Thursday, August 12^th (all day!); and the reading times on:

Friday, August 13^th (throughout day)

 

PS – here are a couple cool coyote videos on our youtube account for the Ballona Wetlands Restoration Project.  They came from our Critter Cams.  Enjoy and have a great weekend!

Saturday Beach Clean-up!

Hello ES&P Club Members,

     This Saturday, August 14th, is our first club event of summer: the beach clean-up!  We will be meeting at the Belmont Pier in Long Beach on the sand at 10:00 AM, and clean until noon or so.  Carpools from school will be leaving at 9:30 AM meeting outside of the International House Dorms (near Lot 1 and Belflower Blvd.).  Please try to let us know ahead of time via email if you are planning on carpooling with us, so we can get an idea of how many cars we need.  If you want to carpool, but are running late please call me at (562)714-0989 so we don't leave you behind!

     Trash bags and gloves are provided, so just bring yourself, some closed-toed shoes (there are often broken glass bottles in the sand), your reusable water bottle, and some friends!  Don't forget about the Colorado Lagoon event afterward, if you have RSVPed.

Hope to see you all Saturday!
