NATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENT COURSE & INTERNSHIP PROGRAM for academic credit from either University of Colorado Boulder or Fort Lewis College
June 6-August 12, 2010 based in Durango and Silverton, Colorado http://www.mountainstudies.org/Research/Internship_Program.htm This 10-week program combines a course in natural resource management with a career-building internship. The two-week course will be based in Durango and Silverton, Colorado and be taught by the Mountain Studies Institute. It will combine lecture, discussion, and field exercises. Each student will be placed with a natural resource scientist or manager for an 8 week field experience/internship. Students will learn methods used by natural resource professionals in the field and office and be responsible for contributing to real-world projects. About 30% of past interns have been offered employment by mentoring agencies as a result of their field experience. Due to the many logistics and planning requirements of this program, participation requires cooperation and a spirit of adventure. The program is made possible by the San Juan Collaboratory, which partners MSI with San Juan Public Lands Center (USFS/BLM), Fort Lewis College, and University of Colorado at Boulder. Students may sign up for the course via either Fort Lewis College (FLC) or CU Boulder.
