In fall 2025, we asked our college alumni network to share updates on their careers. The results were promising! Eighty-six percent of respondents are currently employed, and 63% of those employed are working full-time in STEM-related careers since completing the internship. Alumni are building careers across urban environmental management and conservation as managers, coordinators, analysts, technicians, and educators. Many remain connected to New York City’s natural areas through roles with NYC Parks, the New York Restoration Project, Central Park Conservancy, and Van Cortlandt Park Alliance, while others work in federal public service with agencies such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the National Park Service. Eighty percent still live and work in NYC, continuing to contribute locally. From restoring habitats and leading field crews to conducting research and educating communities, our alumni continue to grow as professionals and make a lasting impact in urban conservation.
