UCR Natural Reserves: Summer Internship Program
In order to make the reserves more accessible to undergraduates, the UC Riverside NRS hosts a Summer Internship Program which provides inclusive field-based research experiences. Inclusivity here refers to a diversity of student identities, backgrounds, career levels, majors, and perspectives. We hope to introduce undergraduates to many possible areas of study and careers in natural areas while building a supportive mentoring network.
