Interns

Ben Bokser, a New York City native, is the Sustainability Laboratory's first summer intern. He is a 2009 graduate of Yale University with a degree in Ethics, Politics, and Economics. Much of his college work related to the issues of poverty reduction and the environmental from the wide degree of angles provided by his interdisciplinary major, capped off by a thesis researching ethical restaurant certification in Israel.

Following the fall 2008 semester spent volunteering and studying in Nepal, Ben has also developed an interest in sustainable agriculture, the focus of the Sustainability Laboratory's Project Wadi Attir. Ben will be developing this interest in a hands-on way in fall 2009 in an apprenticeship program in an ecological farm in Israel.
