Student Outreach Information

Thank you for your interest in doing science outreach at Gonzaga!  Outreach placements are made at the beginning of each semester.  If you are a Research Option or HHMI student, you will receive email communications at the beginning of the semester regarding outreach opportunities and deadlines.  If you are not on these lists but would like to receive information about outreach opportunities, please email the Outreach Coordinator with your contact information.

The first step you need to take is to decide which outreach program to apply for.  Many students are familiar with Science in Action!, our largest outreach program, but we also have other outreach programs that you can participate in.  Please look over the detailed list of outreach programs on the Science Outreach Homepage before you apply, and chose the program that most closely matches your interests.  All of these programs can fulfill the outreach requirement for Research Option and HHMI students (and will require a similar number of hours as Science in Action!).

Regardless of which program you are volunteering in, all GU participants will register for BIOL 498 - Science Outreach as a zero credit independent study.  While not affecting your overall credit load, this will allow you to supply documentation on your transcript of outreach experience to future graduate programs and/or employers.

Applications for science outreach programs will be distributed by email and can also be accessed by clicking on the links below.  Spring semester applications are due by 9:00 am on Thursday January 26th.
