Alanna and Kelsey,

I thought the members Tierra Seca...University of Arizona's Chapter
of the Society for Range Management (SRM)...might be interested in having a
mentored NASA Space Grant Internship. (Almost every year students in SNRE
and professors
participate in this prestigious program, including some from Tierra Seca in
the past.)

I would be grateful if you could pass this on.....


If you want to expand your universe and get paid for it too, do we have the
job for you!



*Applications are due **5pm Friday, **July 6, 2012*. (a few extra days due
to the holiday)

*The objective?* To provide undergraduates who are exploring career options
the opportunity
