<div>Hi CALS Colleagues!</div>
<div>We are recruiting undergrad and graduate science students to spend a day with us at the Hassayampa River Preserve near Wickenburg, volunteering as mentor scientists for a middle school field program we're running. We know it's late it the semester, but
please pass along to any students you know of that may be interested in this opportunity. Students receive a daily $75 stipend and transportation is provided from campus.<span style="WHITE-SPACE: pre" class="Apple-tab-span">
