Research and Extension Experiential Learning for Undergraduates (REEU) – Diversity in Faces, Spaces and Places of Natural Resources Sciences program via Purdue University's Department of Forestry and Natural Resources
This REEU program is an eight-week, field-based, natural resource science-focused, summer internship program, funded by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture. This program provides opportunities for participating undergraduate students to address research questions related to the biodiversity of ecosystems within a highly agricultural landscape, and to develop technical, critical thinking and mentoring skills. Participating undergraduate students will be paired with graduate student and faculty mentors and high school interns to address research questions in their area of interest (e.g., stream ecosystem health, mammals, reptiles and amphibians, birds, herbaceous plants, and trees). Weekly mentoring, social events and professional activities are included. Selected applicants will receive a financial incentive package, including a $4,000 stipend, meals and housing, and travel reimbursement (up to $500).
