Undergraduate Involvement
ASC is a university-based research center that develops and maintains undergraduate research opportunities to prepare Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ for lifelong success. We complement formal educational courses by providing opportunities for Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ to learn real-world skills and get a head start on applying formal content to new situations. We provide these opportunities to cooperate with our numerous conservation partners, enabling Ñý¼§Ö±²¥ to participate in current conservation challenges. See our Opportunities page for more information on ways to get involved.

Scholarship Opportunity:
Bill Gabriel Avian Science Center Scholarship: H.

The recipient must engage with ASC for 2-5 hours per week during a semester (and return the following semester) on activities ranging from data entry, assistance with data collection, or exploring options for student-led research on birds. We allow flexibility for the recipient to explore their interests in using birds in wildlife conservation activities.
