Join us on a Career Shuttle to the Wye Research and Education Center! This will be an in-person event; we will travel together by bus to the WyeREC campus in Queenstown, MD.
WyeREC is a part of UMD Extension where research focusing on preserving the health and vitality of the Chesapeake Bay, sustaining agricultural productivity, product diversity, and maintaining Maryland's valued quality of life is explored.
During our visit, we will take a tour of the farm to check out research plots and crops, take part in hands-on activities, and learn about internship and career opportunities with the UMD Extension program across the state.
Register HERE.
Students of all majors (undergraduate & graduate) are welcome to attend. Space is limited. Once the bus is full, you will be added to our waiting list and notified if a spot opens up. Please note, due to the limited space and the expected high demand for this trip, we will be enforcing our "no show" policy. If you find you cannot attend this event, please contact Casey Miller, caseymil@umd.edu, as soon as possible. If you fail to attend this event, we will charge your student account $25 to recover some of our lost costs.

If you are under the age of 18, please notify us ahead of time. We will travel by bus to the Wye Research and Education Center in Queenstown, MD.
