Junior SEED Program in Bioenvironmental Research

SEED is a program of scientific research for Xavier undergraduates based in collaborative research experiences in the environmental sciences. The goals of the ten-week SEED research program are to increase minority awareness of and enrollment in graduate programs in the environmental sciences by: • providing Xavier undergraduate students with quality field and bench research experiences in environmental research laboratories of Xavier and/or Tulane Universities under the guidance of an established researcher affiliated with the CBR. • providing students with a broad view and understanding of the roles of a research scientist through career exploration workshops • encouraging students to pursue graduate study in the environmental sciences by acquainting them with the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology (EEB) and Institute for Earth and Ecosystem Sciences (IEES) graduate programs of Tulane University and by equipping them with the necessary skills to successfully negotiate the application process.
