Senior is Washington D.C.’s First ‘Green’ Intern



What do you do when you've already built a 20-foot long, 200-pound concrete canoe and helped install photovoltaic solar panels on the roofs of several campus structures? Well, just ask Mark Galvan who has topped himself once again by landing a job as Washington D.C.'s first green intern. I've had the pleasure of meeting Mark on a number of occasions and he's genuinely one of those cool, hard-working, dedicated and humble students.

I'm not surprised that others, such as Congresswoman Susan Davis (CA-53) and the Capitol’s chief administrative officer, Dan Beard were also impressed with him when they came to visit to UCSD. The two have given Galvan the opportunity to work in a multi-faceted internship that is the first of its kind and a unique opportunity for Mark to do what he loves, help build a sustainable future :) Click here to get the full scoop on Mark and his new gig.
