Illinois Environmental Council (IEC) brings together the Illinois environmental movement to influence decision makers and ensure clean air, clean water, and healthy communities. 

Interns will focus on quantifying the impact of IEC's legislative changes over the years. Students will work closely with the programs/policy team to analyze documents that outline the legislation the IEC has passed, identify which issues have the largest impacts, and discuss metrics they can research. 

Students will conduct research and present a final report and deck that highlights their findings and impact.
