The Hixon Center seeks to provide students with opportunities to engage in environmental issues, both on and off campus, as well as in academia and industry. Please feel free to use, share, and refer back to this page at any time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Rasmussen Fund<\/a> supports student and faculty research in the area of environmental sustainability. The Fund is dedicated to supporting science-based inquiry into a broad range of environmental issues in the form of either faculty or student research proposals. Projects are funded through the summer, and recipients will present their findings upon return to campus in the fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hixon faculty, like all faculty, offer undergraduate research experiences in both the summer and during the academic year. Students apply through the HMC-wide URO website<\/a>. To see Hixon faculty research areas, please visit the Faculty-led Research page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Ben Huppe \u201914 Memorial Internship for a Sustainable World was established by Maggie Lewis and Bob Huppe in honor and memory of their son, Ben, to honor his passion for science and technology and the role it plays in improving the environment and\/or bringing technical solutions to underserved populations both domestically and internationally. The internship should involve direct, hands-on work in areas such as renewable energy, green technologies, environmental sustainability and\/or the use of technology to solve problems of under-served populations. For more information, please visit the Office of Community Engagement Ben Huppe \u201814 Memorial Internship for a Sustainable World<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sustainability Club seeks to institutionalize sustainability and implement sustainable solutions in Harvey Mudd, across the 5Cs, and in Claremont by fostering multidisciplinary relationships, raising awareness, and promoting discussion. To do this, the club organizes technical projects, conducts community awareness and advocacy efforts, and encourages ways for Mudders to engage in careers in sustainability after graduating.To learn more about Sustainability\/ESW and or to join as a member or volunteer please email the leadership team at sustainability-l@g.hmc.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are many opportunities for students to do research over summer outside of HMC.

Students and colleagues frequently ask Hixon faculty for guidance and advice in this area. Here are some of the resources we use to create mental and emotional space for processing these feelings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I WANT A BETTER CATASTROPHE: Navigating the Climate Crisis with Grief, Hope and Gallows Humor (An existential manual for tragic optimists, can-do pessimists, and compassionate doomers.)<\/a>, Andrew Boyd<\/p>\n\n\n\n Saving Us<\/a>, Katharine Hayhoe<\/p>\n\n\n\n ALL WE CAN SAVE: Truth, courage, and solutions for the climate crisis,<\/a> co-edited by Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and Katharine Wilkinson<\/p>\n\n\n\n HOW TO SAVE A PLANET: A Spotify Original Podcast<\/a>, Hosted by Alex Blumberg and co-created by Alex Blumberg and Ayana Elizabeth Johnson<\/p>\n\n\n\n THE COOLEST SHOW<\/a>, Hosted by Rev.
