<p style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:black">Every semester we offer an opportunity for UA students to help diversify the environmental sciences and develop the next generation of leaders, stewards, and scientists. By participating in our internship,
Bio/Diversity interns help teach K-12 students about the natural world around them and the importance of diversity within the STEM field. The upcoming deadline for the Spring 2019 internship application is November 30<sup>th</sup>. Please find the link to
our online application <a href="http://wise.arizona.edu/Bio-Diversity-Project-Intern">here</a>. More information can be found on <a href="http://wise.arizona.edu/the-biodiversity-project" target="_blank">our website</a> and/or on the attached flyer. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p style="margin-left:.5in"><span style="color:black">The Bio/Diversity Project places University of Arizona student interns with K-12 school partners to assist with the implementation of culturally-relevant and place-based environmental science curriculum
focused on the topic of biodiversity. <span style="background:white">Interns develop science communication skills and broaden their knowledge of environmental science-related issues while simultaneously providing encouragement and outreach to underrepresented
groups of K-12 students.</span> In return for a commitment of 10 hours per week, students can receive 3 units of credit through any of 13 different UA departments. Classes are followed up by educational field trips to the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum and/or
Saguaro National Park to expose the students to a variety of environmental science careers.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
