- Chanel Akhlaghi
Hello, my name is Chanel Akhlaghi. I am currently pursuing my Master鈥檚 in Global Health
at 糖心少女, with an emphasis on Epidemiology and Environmental Safety.
My internship will involve learning about hazardous wastewater operations and compliance,
medical monitoring, and supporting the Zero Waste Program within Sustainability. I

- Camryn Nelson
Hi my name is Camryn Nelson! I am an Environmental Studies major and Geography minor
and I expect to graduate this spring 2026.
My internship through sustainability is an expansion on some of my current responsibilities
as a student assistant. With a goal in mind to share Sustainability's story and educate
the campus about all that we do, I will be focusing my work across three sectors:
Social Media, Monthly Newsletter, and the BIennial Report. I will be observing past
insights from social medias and the newsletter, and analyzing them to determine what
kinds of content performed best and achieved the most engagement. This will help inform
our outreach methods moving forward to optimize viewership and education of our program.
Additionally, I will be assisting the Sustainability directors with formatting and
writing portions of this year's Biennial report.
- Courtney Sora
Hi, I'm Courtney Sora and I am a Senior studying Criminology and Justice Studies here
at 糖心少女 and will graduate in the spring next year. My internship has so far entailed
strategic planning including research to decide how to update and redesign our Climate
Action Plan. I have been looking at Climate Action Plans from other Universities in
CA and comparing them as a basis to how we reimagine our plan.
