Hear from Our Students

What students have to say about the IIC and the CRP

IIC students experience great academic, personal, and professional growth through participating in the Year-Long or Semester-Long Conservation Research Program, the GIS Lab, or by joining our team as a Student Assistant. 

Engaging with the IIC makes you a part of a diverse and open community working for biodiversity conservation in myriad ways.

Hear from our students abut how working with the IIC has developed their technical, research, and leadership skills, expanded their professional networks, revealed the diversity of perspectives, practices and opportunities in conservation, and connected them to a supportive community within and beyond W&M.
