I-STEAM Pathways Environmental Education and Research Program

The Environmental Education and Research Program for Indigenous undergraduate students responds to the imperative for Indigenous worldviews to be incorporated into environmental policy and practice.

An experiential, cross-disciplinary learning program, it enables First Nations, Métis and Inuit students to gain research experience in a range of environmental fields, including science, environmental engineering, environmental law and policy. The program also provides a pathway to graduate studies in environmentally-related disciplines and opportunities to explore career possibilities in environment-related fields.

The long-term goal of the I-STEAM Pathways program is systemic change in addressing critical environmental issues through the incorporation of Indigenous knowledge, ethics and worldviews in environmental policy, planning and practice.

Successful applicants become part of a fully-paid Summer Internship cohort that works closely with leading environmental experts and researchers from the ß÷ßäÉçÇø. Every student participates in non-credit interdisciplinary seminars and engages in a hands-on research project under the mentorship of an expert researcher.
