Summer Programs
Teen Research and Education in Environmental Science (TREES)
In 2007, the Center of Excellence in Environmental Toxicology began a community outreach education program for high school students. The Teen Research and Education in Environmental Science Program (TREES) is a unique summer research and mentorship program offering a hands-on environmental research opportunity for motivated high-school students. Each summer, approximately six high-school students will work one-on-one with mentors on projects that they choose and design. [more details...]

Penn Undergraduate Environmental Health Scholars Program (STEER)
Interest in environmental health and the need for increased research in this field has steadily grown during the past decade. To address this need, the University of Pennsylvania has received an NIEHS award for summer internships for selected undergraduate students (Short-Term Educational Experiences for Research (STEER) grant). Ten weeks of summer activities will expose students to the field of environmental health science through mentorship, coursework, and field experience. This program represents a collaboration across the Center of Excellence in Environmental Toxicology, the Center for Public Health Initiatives and multiple schools and faculty at Penn. The program provides didactic experiences in environmental and public health and research mentorship opportunities in a variety of areas of environmental exposures and health effects. Each summer, six internships will be awarded to Penn undergraduate students who will work one-on-one with mentors on projects that they choose and design. Each intern will receive $3,500 for the 10 week internship. [more details...]
