EAST ALTON – The National Great Rivers Research and
Education Center (NGRREC ℠ ) will highlight the work of its interns
and staff during a special November Neighbor Nights event on Tuesday, November
15, 2022.
The event will
run from 6-8 p.m., beginning with an open poster session and an optional guided
tour of the field station at 6:30 p.m. Guests are welcome to join us in the
Riverview Room at 7 p.m. as interns present their projects.
“NGRREC’s intern
program provides a unique research experience for undergraduate students in the
greater St. Louis area,” said NGRREC Assistant Amy Monroe. “While some interns
this semester are continuing research, they began in spring 2022; others are
participating in projects that expand the scope of our program, including
science communication and media relations.”
The fall intern
class has eight members with two Lewis and Clark Community College (L&C)
students participating in the internship program.
This semester’s
internship program is funded by NGRREC, the Monticello College Foundation and
the Living Earth Collaborative.

programs. Applications will open on November 28, 2022, and close on January 4,
2023, for NGRREC’s spring internship program.
