The federal EPA on Tuesday announced its new outreach effort to diverse and underserved communities by offering internships, joint projects, and scientific research opportunities to students and faculty at UC Rivereside.
University and EPA officials signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the new outreach program.
"I am thrilled that EPA is partnering with the University of California, Riverside," Jared Blumenfeld, EPA regional administrator, said in a prepared statement. "EPA will benefit from the tremendous pool of talent, energy and environmental commitment offered by these students."
Blumenfeld said the joint projects could range from developing innovative climate change solutions to helping inner-city communities improve their environmental health.
