We are excited to share with you the news that professor David Trilling, chair of Northern Arizona University’s Department of Astronomy and Planetary Science, has been awarded a grant by the National Science Foundation to launch a new partnership with Coconino Community College (CCC). The initiative will create a pathway for recruiting 20 CCC2NAU students into paid internships working in research labs at NAU.
Working with multidisciplinary collaborators across both institutions, Trilling will bring underrepresented minority (URM) students into the program, enabling them to carry out research on a range of topics. The two-year project begins in August 2022, and the first cohort of interns will begin in the Fall 2022 semester. Read more.
