2014 PARK BREAK SESSIONS WILL EXPLORE ARCHEOLOGY, HYDROGEOLOGY


Applications from eligible graduate students accepted through January 7,
2014


Are you a graduate student thinking about a career in parks, protected
areas, and cultural sites?  Park Break is an all-expenses-paid, park-based
field seminar for students like you.  Park Break puts you in a national
park unit for a week's worth of field and classroom activities in close
collaboration with park scientists and scholars, managers and
administrators, and partner organizations.  Organized since 2008 by the
George Wright Society in conjunction with the U.S. Geological Survey and
the National Park Service, Park Break is a learning experience that you'll
find nowhere else.


In 2014, we are offering two Park Breaks:

   - *Keweenaw National Historical Park* <http://www.nps.gov/kewe>*,* located
   in the rugged Keweenaw Peninsula along Lake Superior in far northern
   Michigan, will host a Park Break focused on archaeology and cultural
   resources management during the week of April 7–11, 2014.
   - *Saguaro National Park* <http://www.nps.gov/sagu>, which straddles
   Tucson in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona, will host a Park Break focused on
   hydrogeology during the week of March 10–14, 2014.

Park Break is open to graduate students who are currently enrolled and
actively pursuing their degree.  Minority candidates are especially
encouraged to apply.  The deadline is January 7, 2014.
