A checklist is the list of requirements to complete this program and receive the award, as the college publishes it in its catalog. It is the same for everyone. It does not say what you have completed; that comes from applying your own record.

Description
Let’s face it-our planet needs scientists who know how to reduce air pollution, restore wetlands, protect national parks, address climate change … the list goes on and on. Some day that person could be you, especially if you’re passionate about the environment, you’re excited about using science and math to solve complicated problems, and you want a job that lets you travel the world and explore the great outdoors.
