Student Project Mentoring Services

Choosing a topic to explore as part of a student project is often the easy part. But finding people working in the topic’s field can be daunting. RIRRC has experienced professionals in the fields of:

• Engineering
• Environmental science
• Resource economics
• Public policy and intergovernmental affairs
• Manufacturing
• Education
• Advocacy

We welcome the opportunity to work with Rhode Island students, K-Grad School, on their projects.  Our mentoring services can also provide students with a career exploration experience, and are provided free of charge.  Recycling, waste reduction, solid waste management, and environmental advocacy are just some of the topics we can help students explore.  Please contact Krystal Noiseux, Recycling Program Manager, for more information.
