Date/Time: 
Wednesday, September 25, 2024 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm
Location: 
Zoom—Registration required

Please join Lake Champlain Sea Grant for the first of four fall research webinars of 2024. Marisa Immordino will share her graduate research working with Lake Champlain Sea Grant's Watershed Alliance program.

Using survey and interview data from early career alumni of three internship programs, this research webinar will examine the impacts associated with semester-long, watershed education internship opportunities for undergraduate students. Post-graduation career trends and the extent that the internships facilitated career pathway transformation will also be explored. Results provide valuable insights about benefits of participating in similar internship programs that can aid program sponsors and directors to recruit and support participants in the future.

Participants should expect approximately 30 minutes of presentation, which will be recorded, followed by a facilitated, 30-minute Q&A period. This webinar is a part of the Lake Champlain Sea Grant Research Webinar Series.

Register in advance for the webinar.

After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.
