"One of the most rewarding elements of my work has been watching the interaction between graduate and undergraduate students as they have partnered with staff from Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore on our brook trout research. They get a unique perspective of environmental research from these encounters that is far richer than any experience they could attain in a classroom."
