Attention UArizona juniors and seniors:
Get paid to work with an experienced researcher while learning how you can impact environmental policy and/or strengthen Indigenous governance!
The Udall Center for Studies in Public Policy has opened applications for our second-annual Mo's Policy Scholars Program.
Mo's Policy Scholars is a competitive 14-week paid mentorship program for 9 University of Arizona students (juniors and seniors only) who are interested in having an impact on environmental and Indigenous governance policy.
