PARTNERSHIPS
Derek Halberg was an intern with URI during Fall 1995 and Spring 1996, when he worked as an Environmental Educator in the Learn & Serve Ecology Program at the Sheridan Middle School in New Haven. From 1996 to 2004, he worked at the National Guard Bureau in Arlington, VA, overseeing a program to manage natural resources on Army National Guard installations across the country. In the fall of 2004, Derek returned to his home state of North Carolina to become the Director of Land Protection for the Tar River Land Conservancy based in Louisburg, NC. He says that he still "looks back fondly on his interactions with kids and teachers at Sheridan Middle School. I genuinely felt that the projects that we worked on brought them closer to their environment." Derek, his wife Christy, and their son Caden currently live in Chapel Hill.
