Dear UC Riverside Community,



This is a reminder that applications for the Summer 2024 offering of the UC
Natural Reserve System field program, California Ecology and Conservation
<https://ucnrs.org/teaching/cec/> are *due on February 10, 2024*.
Applications can be found here
<https://ucnrs.org/teaching/application/>*. *Please
spread the word!



California Ecology and Conservation is an intensive field program which
transforms students into scientists. The course is specifically tailored
for students contemplating a career in ecology, conservation biology, or a
related field. This summer will mark our 28th run. Since its inception in
2015, over 500 undergraduates from across the UC system have participated.
Check out this video
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRqmmgqMquo&feature=youtu.be> to get a
glimpse of what students are calling the most rewarding experience in their
undergraduate careers.

 For 50 days, 27 undergraduates from across the UC system participate in
hands-on learning, gaining a familiarity with some of the most
awe-inspiring landscapes the state has to offer. Students complete a series
of independent research studies while learning to notice natural patterns,
frame questions into feasible research projects, and practice standard
field techniques. At the conclusion of each project, students analyze their
data and present their findings in oral presentations and written reports.
All the while, students grow as leaders, teammates, and members of a
diverse and enthusiastic community of scholars.



Please distribute this email widely and share this exciting program with
your students. All UC undergraduates who have a 2.5+ GPA, are in good
standing with their home campus and have successfully completed an
introductory biology course are eligible to apply.



 We’ve attached two documents for you to share—one is a general flyer for
you to print and post and the other lists how the course units map onto
various degree programs at your campus. If students from majors not listed
are interested in taking the course, they can petition their departments to
receive credits toward their major, minor, and GE requirements.



More information is available on the course website
<https://ucnrs.org/teaching/cec/>. I am also happy to answer any questions
you might have about the program.



Best wishes,

Citlali
