The Interns for Change at CSDS have some of the best jobs on campus at Pratt.   Leading the way into the future of sustainability, they work together to educate themselves on sustainable materials and businesses by adding to and updating the ever-expanding material and case study libraries at CSDS.  By doing extensive research for thoroughly detailed reports, they get the scoop on some truly sustainable businesses (as well as discovering which are just green-washing). By sharing and trading information on assigned material types, the Interns for Change become experts to assist faculty and students to find the right sustainable materials for their projects when they come in to CSDS.

The Interns for Change go further than writing reports to enhance sustainability’s place at Pratt.  Side projects initiated by the interns themselves are always encouraged to explore new areas of sustainability at Pratt and beyond.  The interns also partake in several sustainable events, such as a Life Cycle Analysis software seminar, a design jam for Pratt Towers, and an exhibition for new incoming students at orientation.  The Interns for Change even include a film crew to direct, shoot and edit short films for various sustainable projects, such as instructional videos for the Fine Arts program and a documentary following the design process for Sustainable South Bronx’s Greenway.
