I have read and checked this application for omissions and errors. To the best of my knowledge, the information is complete and accurate. I understand that the inclusion of false information or the failure to provide all information requested in this application may disqualify our Chapter and its members from further opportunities with the Ecological Society of America’s SEEDS Program. As a SEEDS Campus Ecology Chapter, the proposed activities will serve the mission of SEEDS – to promote ecology opportunities for students, particularly those underrepresented in the science, to stimulate and nurture their interest, in order to diversify and advance the field of ecology. The Chapter will welcome participation from underrepresented minority groups as well as others with a demonstrated commitment to these goals.
