What I wish was different
Advice
We talked a lot about diversity and inclusion. The program completely shifts your perspective of Conservation. Be prepared for an intellectually and emotionally stimulating summer

What I liked
Very interdisciplinary program acquiring students from all across the country from different backgrounds. For me it was a nice segue into the field of conservation, environmentalism, environmental justice, and many fascinating intersections.
What I wish was different
Nothing
Advice
I appreciate the two year aspect to the program where the first year essentially gets you orientated to not only Seattle but a significant portion of the state of WA allowing you to see different professionals and spaces across the area.
