The Center for Science Excellence teamed up with the UC Berkeley College of Natural Resources in PS-132 on Friday for an informational seminar focused on recruiting community college students for paid internships at Cal.
The Environmental Leadership Pathway is a one-year collaborative program between Contra Costa College and Cal, in which students looking to transfer to a university or state college get experience in their science major, learn how to navigate the transfer system and become involved in a mentoring system.
"We want to increase the number of underrepresented students in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM)," CSE Director Setiati Sidharta said of the partnership between the two colleges. "It is an excellent opportunity for students to go beyond the classroom, doing research and hands-on practice."
The ELP is designed to accept 25 applicants. ELP Director Chris Lever said he is recruiting at 11 community colleges throughout the Bay Area, including CCC's sister schools Diablo Valley College and Los Medanos College.
