Description:
ESA’s
successful SEEDS (Strategies for Ecology Education, Development and
Sustainability) program strives to diversify and advance the profession of
ecology by promoting opportunities that stimulate and nurture the interest of
underrepresented students. Entering its ninth year, SEEDS continues to attract
highly talented students to the field of ecology through campus ecology
chapters, field trips, travel awards to the ESA Annual Meeting, and
undergraduate research fellowships. This workshop will provide ESA members with
information on SEEDS and how they can become involved in the program.
Opportunities for rewarding involvement include hosting a field trip, giving a
presentation to a chapter school, and mentoring students.
