Dear Colleagues,
Please help us forward this opportunity widely to those interested in
pursuing graduate work in Ecology, Evolution, Environment & Society.

*Thinking about graduate school in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, Earth
Systems Science, or Environmental Social Sciences? Want to help create a
more diverse, equitable and just academic environment? Not sure where to
start? The EEES Scholars Program may be for you! *
The EEES Scholars Program <https://sites.dartmouth.edu/eeesscholars/> at
Dartmouth College is a workshop designed to diversify the next generation
of academic leaders in the fields of Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, Earth
Systems Science and Environmental Social Sciences. We seek motivated
students who are curious about graduate careers in the Environment and are
looking for support in the graduate school application process.
The graduate application process can be opaque and difficult to navigate,
presenting many barriers to prospective students. As part of efforts to
increase the diversity and accessibility of graduate studies in ecology,
evolutionary biology, environmental studies and earth systems, Dartmouth
EEES (Ecology, Evolution, Environment & Society) encourages students to
apply to the EEES Scholars Program. In this program, talented students
(EEES Scholars) will be selected and invited to Dartmouth College for a
3-day period of virtual activities designed to provide the tools to
expertly apply to graduate schools, and gain a deeper understanding of the
Dartmouth EEES program. The EEES Scholars Program will focus on the
graduate application process, connecting with EEES faculty and students,
and helping to showcase Scholars’ academic achievements. Scholars will
attend CV, personal statement workshops, mock graduate school interviews
and participate in virtual research talks and poster sessions. Students
with backgrounds historically underrepresented in STEM and environmental
fields are particularly encouraged to apply. *Note admission into the EEES
Scholars Program is separate from admission into EEES Graduate Program, but
we encourage our scholars to submit formal applications to our graduate
school after the conclusion of the Scholars Program. Scholars all receive
fee waivers for EEES graduate school applications and an extended deadline
to submit.
*Who are we looking for?*
The EEES program is committed to increasing the presence and visibility of
promising students who will bring a diversity of viewpoints and cultures to
STEM fields (particularly ecology, evolutionary biology, and earth systems
science) and the environmental social sciences. EEES hinges on graduate
students who have an interest in and passion for interdisciplinary research
in Ecology, Evolution, Environment, Society. Fostering a diverse,
inclusive, and supportive community of scholars is critical to our mission.
This EEES Scholars Program is part of a larger effort to build and support
such an academic community.
Current undergraduates, recent college graduates, current Masters students,
recent Masters graduates and those that are currently or have recently
worked in the public or private sector interested in pursuing graduate work
in Ecology, Evolution, Environment & Society are all welcome to apply! You
do not need to be a U.S. citizen. Please forward this opportunity widely!
*The EEES Scholars Program will be held virtually December 2-4, 2020.EEES
Scholars applications are due November 19, 2020. *
