to begin the program in June 2014. </span><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">The goal of this multi-year conservation training program is to broaden participation in conservation by students from diverse backgrounds by training,
educating, mentoring, and supporting students who not only have a budding academic interest in conservation, but are also committed to increasing the diversity of students and professionals in the conservation field. Students will complete mentored research
projects and internships over the next two summers and receive regular structured mentoring and online learning during the academic year.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="background-color:white"><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Students will earn approximately $5,000 for each of the next 2 summers and will receive an additional $1,000 summer housing stipend. This is
a great opportunity for your students to gain the valuable skills and experience that are necessary for a successful career in conservation while also receiving financial support.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""></span></p>
