Once you join the family the desire to give back simply becomes part of who you are. The first moment I joined SEEDS I knew it was something special since it is a program centered on building community. SEEDS introduced me to the field of ecology, the splendors of research, and to an endless array of career opportunities, but the greatest mentoring gift it gave me was invaluable friends. Whenever I am down or distraught I know I can always count on SEEDS students to give me advice or assistance. We are always there for each other either it be staying up all night critiquing ESA PowerPoint presentations or simply lending a hand in time of need. The family is reliable, supportive and undeniably fun. I am and will always be grateful to SEEDS, and the dedicated and passionate people who compose it. SEEDS staff (Jason Taylor, Katherine Hoffman, Melissa Armstrong, and Jeremy Strickland) you are awesome and thank you for all that you do!!! VIVA SEEDS!!!! The mentoring in SEEDS never ends.
