Subject:        Summer Undergraduate Environmental Internship Opportunity

NCEH/ATSDR is hosting a ten week paid summer internship for undergraduate students that are passionate about the environment.  At the National Center for Environmental Health/Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry, we hope to inspire students to gain awareness of the fascinating field of environmental health.  This opportunity is for rising junior and rising senior students that are majoring in environmental studies and related fields.

We would appreciate it if you would pass on the information below to your professional colleagues, fellow scientists, and academics. We are looking for students who have a demonstrated interest in the environment and who are leaders on their college campuses. I have attached a flyer that you may post or forward in order to reach a broader number of individuals. In addition, you may want to direct people to visit our website www.cdc.gov/nceh/cleh if they have questions, or they may contact me personally. Our first year for the Collegiate Leaders in Environmental Health program was 2008, and was considered a complete success by participating interns and project supervisors. We hope to enlist your help in order to receive the most qualified candidates from across the United States for the class of 2009.

Below you will find a short description of the internship that you may pass on.
