ESF Science Corps

The ESF Science Corps embodies SUNY ESF's Vision 2020: A Better World through Environmental Discovery. The Science Corps supports campus-based, in-school, workplace and field-based STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) learning and professional development experiences for middle and high school students and teachers. Established by a National Science Foundation grant, ESF undergraduate, masters and Ph.D. students, faculty and other volunteers comprise the Science Corps. Members are "front line" role models for students whose academic and career plans are emerging. Current Science Corps efforts include ESF SCIENCE (Summer Camps Investigating Ecology in Neighborhood and City Environments), the NSF GK12 project, the Volunteer Science Corps and the Environmental Challenge science fair. The ESF Science Corps also contributes to the ESF in the High School program. Efforts are undertaken in partnership with urban, suburban and rural schools as well as numerous public, private and non-profit organizations.
