The Center for Environmental Research and Conservation (CERC) at Columbia University is now accepting applications for the 2009 Summer Ecosystem Experiences for Undergraduates (SEE-U) program; study-abroad courses that provide undergraduate students of all majors with a global understanding of ecology and environmental sustainability.

SEE-U offers five week long summer field ecosystem courses in Brazil (São Paulo) and the Dominican Republic (Punta Cana), for undergraduate students. Upon completion of the program, students receive six undergraduate credits from Columbia University.

We also offer a shortened, two and a half week program in Upstate New York (Black Rock Forest), which earns students three undergraduate credits.

The SEE-U program is open to students of all majors from across the nation.

We will be hosting several upcoming Open House events where you are invited to come join us and learn more about the SEE-U program.

Our upcoming SEE-U Open House events are scheduled for:

Tuesday, September 16th, 1:00-2:00PM
Wednesday, October 15th, 5:30-6:30PM
Thursday, October 23rd, 3:00-4:00PM

We are located on the 10th Floor of Schermerhorn Extension on the Columbia University campus. See http://www.cerc.columbia.edu/about_location.html for directions.
