Watersheds: From River to Estuary

A Summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site at the MU Center for Environmental Sciences

The Millersville University Center for Environmental Sciences (MUCES) is now offering paid summer research experiences for undergraduates. The objective of this internship program is to offer a 10-week summer research program in environmental sciences to 8 undergraduate student participants who will work directly with Ph.D. experts in a variety of environmental science fields including biology, meteorology, geography and chemistry (see list of mentors and projects below). Our focus in on watersheds from headwater streams to estuarine and nearshore marine environments and we offer a broad range of experiences including field and laboratory work. In addition to developing and undertaking their own independent research project, students will participate in a week-long environmental biology workshop as well as weekly meetings, seminars and social events. Through this program, MUCES will be able to reach out to those students who will make up the next generation of ecologists, conservation biologists, teachers, environmental planners, and environmental policy advocates. We are dedicated to building a diverse community trained experts and we especially encourage minority and underrepresented populations such as non-traditional students and pre-service teachers to apply.
