Student sustainability research incentives
Yes
A brief description of the student sustainability research program:
Senior Research is required for all students at Stetson University, and all Environmental Science & Studies and Sustainable Food Systems students complete a year long research project. Projects of high merit are selected for further, extracurricular development with a faculty member for publication in peer-reviewed journals.
The Institute for Water and Environmental Resilience employs Research Assistants every academic year, who assist in water quality research within Lake Beresford. While assisting with this research, these students are simultaneously learning many of the technical, laboratory and field skills necessary for other water quality or sustainability research projects of their own design.

A brief description of the faculty sustainability research program:
The Willa Dean Lowery Fund supports faculty research in the natural sciences to advance the teacher-scholar role by encouraging proposals for innovation in scientific research. The fund is made possible through the generosity of the late Stetson patron Dr. Willa Dean Lowery '48. Through her support of the natural sciences, Stetson University has bestowed Willa Dean Lowery Grants for meritorious scientific research projects, several of which have garnered national recognition.
