The Mentored Employment Program offers CoF undergraduate students paid opportunities to get involved with research, field work and build important mentoring relationships in an encouraging environment. It is open to undergraduate and post-baccalaureate students enrolled in a College of Forestry undergraduate major, with an emphasis on reaching those from our underrepresented and underserved communities and those who would most benefit from faculty mentorship.
