Opportunity Knocks from the Career Center – Student Diversity in Conservation Internship

Lawrence is pleased to announce our first Student Diversity in Conservation Internship cohort for Summer 2021. This internship program has been designed to expose historically underrepresented students in the field of conservation to career opportunities and pathways in this area. Participants will have an opportunity to intern with a conservation organization and explore careers in natural resource conservation based on their unique interests. Students from historically underrepresented groups in the field of conservation are encouraged to apply.

Three students who are accepted into the cohort will receive a stipend of $5,000 each to complete a Summer 2021 internship at one of the host organizations (Northeast Wisconsin Land Trust, Pheasants Forever, Wisconsin Wetlands Association).

For program details and to apply, see Handshake (application deadline is May 31).   If you have questions or would like help with your application materials, please make an appointment here with Jacklyn Fischer, advisor to the HMP and PHN Career Communities.
