[Agvisors] NRCDP program

[Watkins, Breanna Joan - (brej12)]

Hi everyone,

As mentioned at our Agvisor meeting this morning, here is more information on the NRCDP partnership with USDA & UA. Please forward the information to your students. There will be an informational workshop on Tuesday, November 9th at 5:30pm via Zoom for students to learn about the program and application. I will send out the application (due Jan. 28) after the informational.

Please let me know what questions you have.

Best,
Bre


The University of Arizona is partnering with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to provide hands-on experiences related to soil health, wildlife biology, environmental engineering, and more.



Students that identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and/or questioning (LGBTQ+) and are interested in science can now explore new paid internships made possible through this new NRCS and UA cooperative agreement.



As part of the internship, students will spend time assisting NRCS field office staff in providing conservation planning and technical assistance to farmers, ranchers, other types of landowners, and local government officials. Student interns will learn about natural resource management strategies as our technical specialists recommend ways to conserve soil, improve water quality and quantity, manage nutrients, protect, and enhance wildlife habitat, and help improve the producer’s operation.



Apply by January 28 for summer 2022 internships. The program promotes diversity and features a win-win goal: future NRCS employees positioned for success.



Further information will be shared on the internship and how to apply during a Zoom meeting with NRCS representatives on November 9, 2021 at 5:30pm.  https://arizona.zoom.us/j/82057311779
