The American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC) represents 37 tribal colleges and universities and has recently announced a partnership with the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NCRS).

The partnership aims to recruit students for the new USDA/NCRS internships in soil conservation and engineering training programs.

An informational Zoom webinar on the AIHEC/NRCS Student Internship Program is scheduled for Tuesday, November 14th, 2023, at 2 pm Eastern Time.

Interested faculty and students from tribal colleges and universities are invited to attend the webinar, which includes a question-and-answer session.
