Princeton University Office of Sustainability

The Student Environmental Communication Network (SECN) trains students of diverse creative and technical backgrounds to produce digital media stories based on their explorations of sustainability. During the 8-week Summer Intensive Digital Media Internship, students research the nuances of sustainability, practice the journalistic and technical skills necessary to communicate those nuances, and apply their new skills to help local community organizations video document and communicate their sustainability initiatives. SECN productions embody the character of their student producers who often bring musical, illustration, humor, storytelling, and other creative talents to the endeavor.
