Your student is applying to participate in Project TRUE (Teens Researching Urban Ecology), a summer program run by the Bronx Zoo and Fordham University. In Project TRUE, rising high school seniors conduct authentic field-based urban ecology research in collaboration with a small group of teenagers and under the supervision of an undergraduate student, a graduate student, and a zoo educator. Success requires intellectual curiosity, hard work, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently and as part of a group.
