Executive Director's Message | |
Supporting undergraduate research Supporting undergraduate research and scholarship is crucial for Miistakis as it not only cultivates the next generation of conservation leaders but also fosters innovation and excellence in the field. By engaging undergraduates in research projects, the Institute provides them with valuable hands-on experience, allowing them to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and research skills that are essential for their future careers. This experience also helps them gain a deeper understanding of environmental issues and conservation practices, inspiring them to become advocates for sustainable practices in their communities and beyond. Over the past 3 months Miistakis has been busy working with undergraduate students at both Mount Royal University and SAIT on a variety of conservation-focused projects:
We want to thank all of the students for their hard work and look forward to putting their research results to use! Soon we will be welcoming our summer interns who will be working on a field-based amphibian eDNA project that will support an ecological network for the greater Calgary region... as soon as the snow melts! Happy spring everyone, Danah Duke, Executive Director | |
