ENTICEMENT THROUGH IMMERSION: ENGAGEMENT AND RECRUITMENT OF AQUATIC ECOLOGISTS AT A PUI

Aquatic Ecology isn’t usually the primary occupational goal for most undergraduate students. Sadly, many don’t even know that it is a career choice. Guidance counsellors, parents, and the media have often convinced students that they have to go into pre-health professions to have a stable or rewarding life. Furthermore, the lack of emphasis on ecological importance in K-12 education limits early interest in the field. Individual research experiences and intensive field courses give students time to explore aquatic ecology, to learn valuable skills in the field, experience genuine research conditions, and if not convince them to be aquatic ecologists, at least foster a respect for the importance of the field. Focusing on the process of discovery, rather than the regular assessment that often occurs in on-campus classroom experiences, also gives students a more realistic view of professional science.
