_______ L News TI he CI àc I ìamas P rint WedNEsdAy, J anuary 51, 2001 Volunteer opportunities for students abound in ELC CORINNE RUPP Opinion Editor Volunteer opportunities abound in the Environmental Learning Center for students interested in education, science or the environ ment. Critter Walk guides, science edu cators and astronomy assistants are needed in this department and everyone is encouraged to apply. These popular programs rely on student volunteers to run smoothly. “WeLve got great programs, we’ve just got to have the people to do them,” Said Francesca Woodward, program coordinator for the Environmental Learning Center Critter Walk guides lead groups of kids ages 5-9 through the ELC habitat to learn about the animals and environment of the wetland ecosystem. These one-hour tours include hands-on activities both for the kids and instructors. If you would rather work with older kids, consider becoming a science educator. This involves taking 8-12 year olds on a voyage of discovery into natural science topics, such as water quality pro grams. The teaching is done both at our outdoor site on campus and in their school classrooms. The Haggart Observatory will soon be up and running again. On clear Saturday nights, the commu nity will be invited to come and view the universe through a 24” Newtonian telescope. Volunteers will take the visitors on an explor atory tour of the night sky. Volunteering is not only good for you, it can also be good for your pocketbook. Cooperative Work Experience is available for volun teers who complete a minimum number of hours. These credits are transferable as electives and are completely free. Scholarships are also available for students who get involved with the ELC. For those looking for some extra money, the ELC is also in need of a volunteer secretary. This could be either a paid position or exchanged for free credits. A science background, while handy, is not required to become a volunteer. The two most important things a volunteer can bring to the program are enthusiasm and dedi cation. Extensive training will be provided to all volunteers. Most programs will be running twice a week, starting in March. Interested people should contact the ELC as soon as possible for training.
