We're so excited to partner with folks on campus and in town to put the Bloom in Bloomington this Thursday! We're working with IU Corps and the Wonderlab for a First Thursday table centered around earth service with some plants and native wildflower seed bombs to take home with you. Come say hey! 🌱🌼

Join us in just a couple weeks for a conservation in action event in partnership with the research and teaching preserve field lab! We'll be out at Kent Farm on April 15th from about 10am-1pm to perform invasive plant species removal. Parking is limited at the site and we know not everyone has a car - so if you'd like to join, please DM, email, or slack us so we can arrange carpooling 🌱💜

Join our team to continue to grow WIC as a presence on campus and in our community! Don't feel discouraged if you haven't made it to every single event - fresh leadership is so important to make sure WIC meets the needs and interests of everyone involved 💚💜

We had the immense privilege to hear from Claire Fredin, a 2022 O'Neill MPA grad, who currently works as a project manager at the Indiana Department of Environmental Management. She offered fantastic advice surrounding the job/internship search, the power of environmental management, and how to be a competitive candidate in applications.

Couldn't make the meeting tonight? No problem! We have a recording and will post slides with additional updates and info about our upcoming events 🌱💜

Hey besties! We're looking forward to seeing you tonight for our first general body meeting of 2023! Here are the rest of the dates so you can get them in your calendar.

As always, both zoom and a recording are available if you can't make it in person. If you need the zoom link, just DM or email us!

For tonight, we're in a different room than usual - go to the old side of SPEA (the atrium that connects to Kelley) and our room is to the left of the SPEA Cafe. There's a short hallway and the classroom is on the left!

Thank you to everyone who was able to make it to our whooping cranes of Indiana presentation. Another huge thanks to for coming to speak with us and for their work to protect endangered cranes 🐥

Come join us on November 29th at 5pm in SPEA A225 to listen to a presentation on the International Crane Foundation, their work in safeguarding the future of cranes in Indiana, and how you can get involved. This is also a great opportunity to network and learn more about an amazing nonprofit with a staff made up of over 50% women.

We're unfortunately postponing our internship search workshop that we had scheduled for tomorrow - more details to come! Our APD officer, Delaney, will still be available during this time for 1:1 help if you'd like some peer guidance in your process. However, the event in partnership with the Career Hub will be reworked for a later date and we truly hope to see you there!! 💚💜🌱

Join us this Friday for a short presentation with Elizabeth Gawron from the O'Neill Career Hub on tips and tricks for applying for summer internships. She will be sharing best practices as well as sharing what resources the Career Hub offers for students. While the event is geared towards undergraduates, all are welcome!

Come join WIC for a morning of volunteering! We will be assisting the IU Research Teaching Preserve (RTP) team with planting seeds for their native plant nursery as well as broadcasting/spreading native seeds to support restoration efforts on site.

Directions: Meet at 8:30am behind the SPEA building to carpool over to the site.
