work with a faculty mentor on a wide range of projects from water quality to
chemical ecology to biological anthropology to ecology of birds in the
Ozarks. This program works primarily with federally recognized Native
American tribes and Native American students. However, all other interested
students are encouraged to apply. This 10-week program consists of a
one-week emersion course on field methods, 8 weeks of intensive Research
