The University of Maryland has a partnership with the National Park Service to provide paid internships for UMD students. We have one new paid internship position available for this spring. Students must be enrolled in a degree program at the University of Maryland. We were hoping that you could share this with your students. If there is someone else in your department that I should contact to have this distributed more widely, please let me know. Application review is ongoing, and the position will remain open until filled.

As a reminder TODAY we have the annual Environmental & GIS Career Fair!
