Students from Tuskegee University visited Acadia National Park in Bar Harbor, Maine to study about careers in conservation and jobs and internships available within the National Park Service and associated fields.
A mixture of graduate and undergraduate students participated in this experience. We had the pleasure of learning about jobs with various non-profits and park partners such as Camp Beech Cliff (Lodging Accommodations), Somes Meynell Wildlife Sanctuary, Friends of Acadia, and the Schoodic Institute. The students were able to conduct a variety of citizen science projects in the park, team building with partners, and learned about several research management jobs in addition to education and law enforcement positions.
A special thanks to Ranger Kate Petrie (Acadia National Park - Schoodic Institute), Joy Absher (Acadia National Park - Program Manager of Visitor Experience and Education), Paige Steele (Friends of Acadia - Conservation Projects Manager), Gail Gladstone (Acadia National Park - Cultural Resources Program Manager) and Ranger Chris Silcox (Acadia National Park - Seasonal Education Ranger) for making sure our students enjoyed every moment and had a wonderful experience at Acadia National Park!
