ANN ARBOR — Students are invited to an Information Session in Ann Arbor to learn about the courses being taught at the University of Michigan Biological Station in northern Michigan during the four-week spring and summer terms in 2024.
UMBS is hosting an Information Session from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 28, in Dana Building Room 1028 on U-M Main Campus.
UMBS welcomes all majors and minors. No prior field experience is required. UMBS staff and alumni will answer questions about the historic field station, course credits, research opportunities and their experiences immersed in nature.
All students can be considered for UMBS scholarship funding, including guest and international students.
The more than 10,000-acre research and teaching campus is located along Douglas Lake just south of the Mackinac Bridge.
The U-M Biological Station in Pellston is one of the nation’s largest and longest continuously operating field research stations.
For 115 years, students and scientists have lived and worked as a community to learn from the place. Together, they help forecast how organisms, population, communities and ecosystems will function in the future under conditions that humans have never seen before.
A virtual Information Session also is available. Registration is required in advance for the Information Session on Zoom at 5 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 31.
