Courses begin in less than two weeks, and quick action is required if you are interested in two opportunities this fall.
Friday is the application deadline for the group capstone course on local environments and the policy networks of urban gardens. See http://illinois.edu/blog/view/561/77653 for more information about the project and how to apply.
Dr. Endress is offering Agriculture and Ecology of a Caribbean Island this fall, but it is in danger of being cancelled if enrollment does not increase within the next few days. If you were thinking of taking this course, please contact Dr. Endress immediately at aendress@illinois.edu.
This section of NRES 499 will introduce students to the range of horticultural crops and ecosystems common in Puerto Rico and elsewhere in the Caribbean. The course will meet on-line every Monday evening (except November 19, 2012) and culminate in field study in Puerto Rico from January 12-20, 2013. An additional $1500 fee will be charged for lodging, surface transportation, etc. Contact Dr. Endress for additional information: 217-244-1679 or aendress@illinois.edu.
