Greetings! The Shoals Marine Laboratory of Cornell University/UNH is now accepting online applications!
Now is the perfect time to plan for next summer - especially if you want to spend some time studying ecology on a beautiful Maine island! We offer hands-on field courses, transferable course credit and the means to fulfill major and/or graduation requirements in the summer. All SML information, including the online application, is at http://www.sml.cornell.edu. For a course list, see: http://www.sml.cornell.edu/sml_students_creditcourses.html Our Course Selection Wizard at: http://www.sml.cornell.edu/sml_students_wizard.html Some key points: * Current freshmen or sophomores should consider taking one of the introductory-level courses, FIELD MARINE SCIENCE and FIELD MARINE BIOLOGY/ECOLOGY. * Financial aid for credit courses is available. See: http://www.sml.cornell.edu/sml_students_feesandaid.html * SML now offers paid internships in Field Biology, Seabird Conservation, and Sustainable Engineering; see http://www.sml.cornell.edu/sml_students_internships.html . * We have a new internship we call "Learn and Earn": http://www.sml.cornell.edu/sml_internworking.html. Before and/or after taking a course at Shoals this coming summer, consider WORKING on Appledore to complete your island experience! * SML is not a full-summer commitment: you can work, too (or you can earn a full semester's worth of credits, if you do spend the whole summer at SML: see Island Semester http://www.sml.cornell.edu/sml_students_undergrad.html). Please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions. Robin Hadlock Seeley, Ph.D Academic Advisor Shoals Marine Laboratory Stimson Hall Cornell University Ithaca, NY 14853 607-255-3717
