    Dear SCB & SCBNA Members,

    Please see the REU opportunity below from The Morton Arboretum:

    ---

    REU at The Morton Arboretum: Integrated Tree Science for the Anthropocene 
    The Center for Tree Science Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program at The Morton Arboretum is now accepting applications for summer 2025. The program includes a $7500 stipend, covers housing and travel expenses, and runs from May 27 to August 1, 2025. The program uses trees as model systems to investigate questions related to evolution, ecology, conservation, and management in natural and built environments. Applications are accepted through January 31, 2025.
     
    WHO SHOULD APPLY:
    We invite undergraduate students with a strong interest in environmental research to apply for the Center for Tree Science REU program. Ideal candidates will demonstrate a passion for the natural world and a willingness to engage in research across diverse environments. A commitment to collaboration, attention to detail, and scientific inquiry is essential. We encourage applicants from colleges and universities where research opportunities are limited, groups traditionally underrepresented in STEM programs, first- and second-year undergraduates, first-generation college students, and US military veterans currently enrolled in an undergraduate program.
     
    Please visit our website for more information (mortonarb.org/reu), check out the flyer and if possible post on a department bulletin board, and contact ctsreu@mortonarb.org with questions.  
     
    Best wishes, 
     
    Christine E. Carrier (she/her/hers) | Center for Tree Science Integrated Mentorship Program Coordinator
    The Morton Arboretum | 4100 Illinois Route 53 | Lisle, Illinois 60532
