Doris Duke Conservation Scholars Program
Each March, 20 early undergraduate Scholars from around the country are selected to participate in a 2-year conservation mentorship program centered on the summers between academic years. The goal is to serve students from groups traditionally underrepresented in conservation who can contribute to diversifying, redefining, and strengthening efforts to protect land, wildlife and water. Efforts are focused on serving college freshmen, sophomores, and juniors with two years of college left at a stage when their undergraduate careers can be supported, as well as their choices as they graduate. For more information, visit conservationscholars.ucsc.edu or email the Program Director, Dr. Justin Cummings, at jacum...@ucsc.edu. Applications for the 2019 Class of Scholars are available on the webiste and are due ***FEBRUARY 8, 2019***. PARC has an Inclusion, Equity, and Diversity Task Team ( http://parcplace.org/about/inclusion-equity-diversity/) and works to promote efforts like the Doris Duke Conservation Scholars Program.
