A Brief Course Description for Eco Evo 262:

This field course is designed to provide you with opportunities to develop professional, technical, and partnership skills in more depth.

This course will allow you to 1) network with professionals working in the field, and 2) build focused professional and technical skills and knowledge in areas relevant to your interests as well as the management of natural resources in and around urban complexes.

Students are required to conduct informational interviews and participate in professional workshops and submit reflections related to workshop content and the field of resource management. This course is offered in collaboration with MCRS but tailored to R2R trainee needs.
