Diverse People for a Diverse Science
SEEDS is an education program of the Ecological Society of America. Its mission is to diversify and advance the profession of ecology through opportunities that stimulate and nurture the interest of underrepresented students. Focused at the undergraduate level, opportunities sponsored by the program include student field trips, undergraduate research fellowships, ESA Annual Meeting travel awards, and campus ecology chapters.
The core SEEDS program components offer hands-on, engaging experiences with ecology that exhibit the relevance and applications of the science. Each experience also provides opportunities to interact with a diverse group of ecologists and other motivated students to both broaden and deepen students’ understanding of ecology and potential careers.
SEEDS AdventuresSEEDS Staff and Alumni have been on the road recently. Meeting up with fellows, site visits to chapters, attending various meetings have kept us busy in the past month. Read about these trips across the country in the April/May newsletter.
