2024 Great Lakes Summer Fellows Program
The Cooperative Institute for Great Lakes Research (CIGLR) announces the
2024 Great Lakes Summer Fellows Program, in partnership with the National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Great Lakes Environmental
Research Lab (GLERL) <https://www.glerl.noaa.gov/>. The Great Lakes Summer
Fellows Program exposes students to a broad range of STEM disciplines by
providing hands-on research training and career development mentoring in a
supportive and inclusive environment. Through this program, we seek to
support diversity in Great Lakes research by valuing the wide range of
identities, backgrounds, perspectives, and skills that enrich scientific
exploration and help connect science with society. We strongly encourage
applications from students who identify with groups that have been
traditionally underrepresented in STEM careers.
