Hello SEHE friends,
Thanks to a connection we made at the Latinx & Environment seminar, SEHE is
partnering with Inland Coalition for Immigrant Justice on an environmental
justice internship opportunity for undergraduate or graduate students.
I'm hoping that you can pass this announcement to students you know who
have some independent research experience (in or out of class), who might
be interested in this opportunity. Science background is not required.
Here's the info below. Thank you so much for forwarding to potential
interns!!
