Doris Duke Conservation Scholars Program
|
|
Environmental Studies students have participated in this program before! Applications for the Doris Duke Conservation Scholars Program ( conservationscholars.ucsc.edu) at the University of California Santa Cruz are now available. Each March we select 20 early-undergraduate Scholars from around the country to participate in a two-year conservation mentorship program centered on the summers between academic years. Our goal is to serve students from groups traditionally underrepresented in conservation, across disciplines, who can contribute to diversifying, redefining, and strengthening efforts to protect land, wildlife and water. We focus our efforts on serving college freshmen, sophomores, and juniors with two years of college left at a stage when we can support their undergraduate careers and their choices as they graduate. Students who attend or are transferring to any four-year institution in the US, its territories and Native nations are eligible. US citizens, permanent residents, DACA and Dreamer students are eligible to apply. International students are not eligible for the program.
During the first year Scholars participate in an eight-week, intensive summer course integrating conservation design, leadership and research experiences while traveling with a close group of peers and mentors. During the second summer, Scholars pursue eight-week research and practice internships with nationally recognized conservation organizations and agencies. A professional development retreat after the second summer brings together the Scholar cohort and prepares them to apply for jobs and graduate school. Throughout the two years and beyond, we work with home mentors at each Scholar’s campus to provide ongoing support. Scholars receive travel and lodging support and a $4,000 stipend each summer and become part of the national Doris Duke Conservation Scholars network for life.

About Ceres: Ceres is a sustainability nonprofit organization working with the most influential investors and companies to build leadership and drive solutions throughout the economy. Through powerful networks and advocacy, Ceres tackles the world’s biggest sustainability challenges, including climate change, water scarcity and pollution, and human rights abuses. About our Summer Internship Program: Ceres actively seeks to engage interns in our work. We have a number of exciting projects going at any one time and find the logistical, research, analysis, and writing support of interns to be of great value. We also hope working here inspires the next generation of professionals to "transform the economy to build a sustainable future for people and the planet." We are looking for a mix of undergrads and graduate students. We have positions available from Agriculture Water Risk to Human Rights, Governance & Sustainability Disclosures, and Food Greenhouse Gas Emissions. Each February, Ceres advertises for our summer program. During March we conduct interviews and make placements. Our internship program runs for 10 weeks, from June 3rd to August 9th. Interns are expected to work full-time, M-F 9am - 5pm, in our office (remote opportunities are not available at this time). We also require proper work authorization, so international students would need to have proper work visas (we are unable to sponsor these at this time). We offer a stipend of $5,500, as well as provide a local commuter pass (MBTA in Boston, BART in San Francisco). We hire around 10-15 summer interns each year, and in addition to contributing work on important projects for their teams, they participate in planned events throughout the duration of the program where they can learn more about other areas of the organization, have professional development learning opportunities, and get career advise as well.

Wildlands Studies Field Programs
|
|
We put the adventure into learning.
Wildlands Studies programs occur entirely in the field. Although not taught in a classroom, there are definite academic expectations: participation in discussions and activities, readings, exams, projects and presentations. There will also undoubtedly be long days, possible inclement weather, logistical challenges, and physically demanding conditions. This comes as well with unsurpassed personal rewards. You will get the most out of the experience if you bring along flexibility, ample patience, a sense of humor, self-motivation, and perhaps most importantly, the desire to work as a team towards a common goal.

This program offers a hands-on experience exploring leadership and cultural diversity in sustainability initiatives. This is a six-week environmental studies program for college undergraduates and recent graduates based in Yunnan Province, China, with dual sites in Kunming and Dali.
