The Natural Resources and Ecology Association (NREA) aims to encourage students and provide opportunities to work in natural resources-related projects and to actively strive towards enhancing their careers in these fields at UC Merced. This semester we'll be focusing on guest speakers from varying career fields, professional development workshops, and social Zoom calls. Our goals include preparing students for environmental career fields during college and post-graduation and creating an interactive community of like-minded individuals with similar career interests. We hope to see you on Zoom!
