About SEEDS ยป Partnerships
Thank you for your interest in working with SEEDS. Our Partnership Opportunities Program is designed to support your efforts to increase the number of underrepresented students in your program. SEEDS serves more than 2,000 students and faculty per year with a strong interest in ecology, including 40 Campus Ecology Chapters across the country. By joining SEEDS as a partner, you will be able to reach all our underrepresented students in the SEEDS network and help sustain our work to diversify the field. We welcome the opportunity to partner with institutions that have a demonstrated commitment to diversity and are able to provide high quality programs that value the participation of underrepresented students. All proceeds go toward sustaining the SEEDS program.
For more information about our Partnership Opportunities, please contact Teresa Mourad, Director of Education and Diversity Programs, at teresa@esa.org or call (202) 833 8773 x 234.
