Undergraduate and Graduate Education
Part of SGS-LTER's commitment to Education & Outreach
REU Program
Since 1995, SGS-LTER has received funds from NSF to support "Research Experience for Undergraduates." REU students spend a summer at SGS-LTER and are mentored by our scientists. The REU program gives students a hands-on experience and is excellent preparation for graduate school. These students conduct their own research projects and are given the opportunity to present and publish their results for the scientific community.
GK-12 Graduate Fellowship Program
In 2001, The University of Northern Colorado and Colorado State University were awarded an NSF GK-12 grant to establish partnerships with PIs, graduate students, and K-12 teachers that place teachers on a research team and graduate students in the K-12 classroom.
