Attention all Earth and Environmental Science Students
GoShoals | 10:17 pm | September 9, 2009 | News
We are recruiting participants for next spring semester’s Sustainable Earth and Environmental Systems (SEES) Semester in Hawaii Program offered by Cornell University. This will be seventh year of the program, which was designed to serve as a capstone experience for our Earth and environmental science majors at Cornell. We still have a couple of slots available for students from other universities. To reserve your spot in the program, please submit the attached application form (with essay) and a deposit check for $100 (payable to Cornell University) to Carolyn Spohn at 2124 Snee Hall, Department of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY 14853 by September 15, 2009. Letters of recommendation are due on October 1, 2009. The $100 deposit check will not be cashed and will be refundable until October 1, 2009. FYI, last year’s program enrolled 15 students, with 11 from Cornell and 4 from other universities. For this year, we will certainly not take more than 15 students.
