Each September, as the promise of a new academic year unfolds, the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology invites high-performing students from underrepresented minorities to experience U-M graduate programs. The Fall Recruitment Partnership gives students an idea of what it’s like to be a graduate student in the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology and the School of Natural Resources and Environment. The initiative began in 2007, originally supported by a grant from the National Center for Institutional Diversity to Professors John Vandermeer (EEB) and Ivette Perfecto (SNRE). The Rackham Graduate School now funds the program.

Hey you - a wise, intelligent, driven, focused graduate student with your life pulled together, with a plan, with a project, with some idea of what you want to be when you grow up .... remember when you didn't?

 

Remember when you were an undergrad and had no idea what you were doing, where you were going, what you liked, or how to do your own laundry, cook an egg, or fix a bike tire?

 

Rebecca Williams of The Environment Report interviewed SNRE Professor Don Scavia about the future of the Great Lakes. Scavia, who also directs the Graham Environmental Sustainability Institute, is part of the U-M team participating with 20 other U.S. and Canadian universities. They are joining forces to propose a set of long-term research and policy priorities to help protect and restore the Great Lakes and to train the next generation of scientists, attorneys, planners and policy specialists who will study them.
