The Erb Institute has a rich, 23-year history of leading education and research focused on business, environmental and social impact. Through the Undergraduate Fellows program, we are expanding our community to include undergraduate students with a demonstrated interest in creating social and environmental impact through business.
For incoming Juniors and Seniors in the BBA program at Ross and the BS/BA program at the Program in the Environment (PitE), the Erb Institute Undergraduate Fellows Program offers the opportunity to become an integral part of the current and future landscape of business sustainability.
As an Erb Institute Undergraduate Fellow, you’ll join a community of change agents with access to hands-on business and sustainability workshops, mentoring and recognition on the Erb Institute website.
