This campaign has ended. However, you may still support the Graduate Group in Ecology Odyssey Fund here.
The Odyssey is an immersive experience, which introduces incoming graduate students to the resources and opportunities available to them as Graduate Group in Ecology (GGE) members, and provides a first introduction to their cohort and the GGE community at large. The Odyssey provides an informal atmosphere where students learn about the University of California Natural Reserve System, ongoing research, and meet current GGE faculty and staff. Cultivating relationships with these places and individuals from the onset makes it easier for students to feel comfortable seeking guidance and support early on in their academic career.
Your contributions will support the Odyssey in its goals to orient new admits to the graduate group in ecology. We will use funds to introduce incoming ecology grad students to some of the places and people critical to success within the GGE. Your gift will fund endeavors such as the transportation, room and board to 25 incoming students; helping us provide a strong community is complementary to professional success.
The Odyssey serves as a chance to build a supportive collegial and social atmosphere that is carried throughout a student's graduate career. We hope you will join us and support in giving generously what you can.
Your gift will help us sustain a UCD Ecology tradition and provide first year students with a supportive atmosphere to navigate their new adventure!
