RESESS is a summer internship program dedicated to increasing the diversity of students entering the geosciences.

It's been a fantastic week with the arrival of the interns. We're excited to have everyone here to kick off the summer. Even though it's been raining quite a bit, we've managed to get outside and have some fun. The photos below are both the RESESS and SOARS programs. The two groups came together for a Leadership Training course in Chatauqua Park and a day of exploring Boulder's hidden gems.
Presenting Their Science
Our 2010 RESESS interns presented a record 10 posters at several conferences last fall, including AGU, GSA, SACNAS, and NABGG. Read their abstracts in our booklet, Earth, Wind, Sea, and Sky.
One intern, Theresa Carranza-Fulmer, was lucky enough to have breakfast with USGS Director, Marcia McNutt, at the AGU conference which was very inspiring. A heartfelt thank you to Dr. McNutt for making the time and sharing her experiences.
