LEAP InternshipsInternships are a key element of LEAP. Following the first year of classes, students will choose an internship position working with one of the partner institutions during their first summer in the program. Students will be fully integrated into the activities of the partner institution, and will identify a research project that integrates the interests of the faculty mentor with a ‘real-world’ problem important to the partner institution.LEAP OutreachAn additional unique element of the LEAP training program is student participation in the design and implementation of an interpretation or outreach program related to their research. Examples include, but are not limited to, recruitment and training of ‘citizen scientists' in their data collection, design of interactive web sites, working with exhibition development or developing training programs for volunteers, stewards, or docents at the partner institutions.
