I am now posting these outside my door on the third floor of Cole (my name is above the door) - and update them daily. There are extremely well paid REU (National Science Foundation - Research Experience for Undergraduates) internships in all aspects of ecology and environmental science - and many, many others as well in conservation, sustainability, agriculture, forestry, marine, etc. etc. If you are looking for a summer internship check these out. Note: THEY HAVE DEADLINES IN FEB AND MARCH. Most require a letter of application and I urge you to work with a faculty member on this - it's very important. Finally, if you think you don't have enough experience (you may be missing some courses), Hampshire students in my experience have a great track record getting these internships. But, again, you need to work with a faculty member on the application. I will be happy to help any of you when I return to Hampshire (I am leaving tomorrow for a week and will be out of touch then). -- Charlene ************************************** Charlene D'Avanzo Professor of Ecology & Director, Center for Learning Hampshire College Homepage: http://helios.hampshire.edu/~cdNS/ TIEE: http://tiee.ecoed.net/ ************************************ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
