Does the institution offer at least one immersive, sustainability-focused educational study program that is one week or more in length?:
A brief description of the sustainability-focused immersive program(s) offered by the institution:
Each summer, the Institute for Coastal and Water Research is a National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded Healthy Streams, Healthy Coasts Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) site. Students accepted to this competitive program have the opportunity to spend 8 weeks working with leading researchers in interdisciplinary fields related to coastal and watershed science. REU investigations fundamentally expand understanding of watershed and estuarine resources and processes in an urban- and agriculturally-influenced watershed.
We offered this program in-person in 2018, 2019, and with a short virtual professional development workshop (i.e. 1 week, but no research activities) due to COVID in 2020.
