We are looking for 2 more undergraduate interns to help us increase Pipeline's visibility on campus, create community and support among tutors, and provide program support.

Being a Pipeline intern is a great opportunity to build your leadership skills, learn about education program coordination, and build community. Pipeline interns are integral to keeping the program running smoothly.

We are looking for two undergraduates:

Tutor Support and Data Analysis Intern
Literacy Arts Alternative Spring Break Intern

Interns would work approximately 5 hours a week (flexible scheduling) including 1 all-intern meeting once a week. While these positions are unpaid, we can offer compensation in the form of General Studies Credit (and lots of free food that comes through the EXPD office suite).

Pipeline Internships are for the entirety of the school year, Fall 2020 - Spring 2021. Applications are due by 11:59 PM, May 25th, 2020.

Cities and Epidemics
UrbDP 498 H / 598 L
3 credits, Summer full-term
Time TBD (remote)
Instructor: Peter Dunn (ptdunn@uw.edu)

This class takes the present Covid-19 pandemic as a starting point for exploring the relationship between disease and cities. By bringing together historical perspectives and contemporary experiences through a wide range of materials, we will learn how issues of health are drivers of urban change and how cities shape the experience of epidemics. We will examine questions of resilience, social infrastructure, urban form, the role of the state, and disparities in social impacts, among others. The class format includes lectures and seminar discussions, and students will have an opportunity to create their own histories of the coronavirus pandemic.

Calling all students interested in learning about global warming, our changing climate system and how politics, ethics and humans can work toward solutions! We are offering climate courses open to everyone and most do not require prior science or math experience. Oh, and bonus: fulfill your “C” or “W” credit at the same time with ATM S 111 this autumn! (By also registering for ENGL 199A.)
