Not all internships are spent sitting behind a desk. 🐝🦗🪰🐛🦋 In Professor Joan Leong’s Entomology Lab, students are gaining hands-on experience through a paid micro-internship with the Rivers and Lands Conservancy. Their work is helping document insect biodiversity while supporting real conservation efforts across SoCal. Along the way, the students are: 🔎 Surveying protected habitats 🔎 Studying biodiversity in native plant gardens 🔎 Identifying and curating insect specimens in the lab 🔎 Gathering data that helps protect endangered species (like the Delhi Sands flower-loving fly) Read more: bit.ly/3UowcSs

5 days, 10 students, and countless ways to #BecomeByDoing. CPP’s "Wxmen in the Wild” program helps students turn their passion for wildlife and environmental science into real-world experience. Over five days, students conducted: 🐦 Bird surveys 🌱 Monitored vegetation 💧 Tested water quality 📷 Set wildlife camera traps 🤝 Connected with professionals across SoCal Led by professor Janel Ortiz, this year’s cohort represents majors across environmental biology, animal science, agricultural science, geology, and biology, and helps these students learn field research techniques that build career readiness.

There’s a good reason real-world clients are interested in the insights of CPP's faculty and students. @cpp_science’s new mass spectrometer gives industry and community partners access to high-end analytical capabilities. Who’s doing the work? CPP chemistry and biochemistry students! They’ll analyze samples, interpret complex data and gain hands-on experience with technology used across pharmaceutical research, environmental monitoring, food safety and more. 💻 💊 🌱 🍎 Acquisitions like the mass spectrometer are made possible by a historic act of generosity from philanthropist MacKenzie Scott and the establishment of our Bright Tomorrow Fund designed to propel institutional priorities and expand opportunity for students.
