We aim to provide intellectually challenging, interdisciplinary research and extension experiences for diverse undergraduates from across the US. During the summer program, our undergraduate fellows will:
- Develop a detailed and nuanced understanding of the complexity of anthropogenic influences and stakeholder needs within mixed-use watersheds;
- Gain appreciation for the disciplinary diversity required to address critical, complex water resources issues;
- Improve their ability to communicate scientific findings to audiences of varying backgrounds in formal and informal situations;
- Acquire a foundation in technical, social, and collaborative skills to help them succeed in future research and professional activities; and
- Form a professional network that can support future careers in water management (e.g., graduate degrees, agricultural/industry careers, public service, etc.).
To promote a unifying context for research: Fellows and mentors will be members of interdisciplinary teams; We will learn from and interact with a range of stakeholders across multiple land use issues; and Activities will be place-based within the Virginia Tech StREAM Lab, with a view towards its relationship with the larger New River basin.
