The Agricultural Experiment Station has funding to support one UVI student to attend a summer internship at the College of Micronesia in the Federated States of Micronesia (COM-FSM) on Pohnpei (http:\/\/www.comfsm.fm\/<\/a>), UVI has announced. The summer internship will be from June 8 to 27, excluding the travel dates that will be an additional 2-3 days before and after the program.<\/p>\n

The student should be interested in pursuing a career in agriculture, food sciences, environment and natural resources, or biology related sciences, but this is not required. There will be a combination of classroom and field experience in the various agriculture sectors within private and public sectors. All classes and materials will be offered in English, giving students the information they need to have a written report and an oral presentation completed, required by the end of the internship.<\/p>\n

Funds will cover round trip travel to Pohnpei from the USVI, a per diem, housing and any other fees required by COM-FSM. Additional funds for supplies may also be provided if needed.<\/p>\n

The goal is to provide an experience in tropical agriculture to students from member institutions of CariPac Consortium, which include the University of the Virgin Islands, University of Puerto Rico, University of Guam, Community College of American Samoa, Northern Marianas College and College of Micronesia,(Pohnpei, Marshal Islands and Palau).<\/p>\n

Application Procedure and Deadline:<\/u><\/p>\n

By April 12, interested students should be nominated by a faculty member and the student should send a letter of interest and explain how this opportunity would benefit their academic career to Dr. Bob Godfrey, director AES and professor of Animal Science, at rgodfre@uvi.edu<\/a>. After reviewing students submitted letters a decision will be made as to which UVI student will travel to Micronesia and more information on the internship will be provided. For more information contact Dr. Robert Godfrey at rgodfre@uvi.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For more information on the conference call (340) 692-4266 (STX) or (340) 693-1406 (STT) or send an email to shamika.thomas@uvi.edu<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
