The PIPES program includes internship opportunities with the University of Hawaii-Hawaiian Internship Program (UHHIP), Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU), and Micronesian and American Samoan Student Internship Program (MASSIP)
The application deadline is Friday February 11th, 2011. Attached is an announcement flyer, please feel free to copy and post around your office, department, or school-and distribute to your students.
These programs offer PAID undergraduate student internships that focus on environmental issues; mainly research and project-based internships opportunities in conservation sciences, resource management, and environmental education & outreach with Hawaii-based host agencies. PIPES is a collaborative effort made possible by partnerships between university faculty, local, state, and federal government agencies, private businesses, and non-profit organizations.
Through a PIPES experience, students gain valuable mentored hands-on experiences in which they gain further insight into Hawaii’s natural and cultural resources and the challenges Hawaii faces in conserving and protecting them. PIPES has been offering student internships since 1994 and are looking forward to another successful summer!
