Students may also seek out and secure their own internships, research opportunities and faculty-mentored Gulf Impact Projects. We encourage you to set up a meeting with the program coordinator to discuss your interests and find the perfect fit within your Gulf Stream pathway. Through hands-on experience, mentorship, and collaboration, you’ll gain the skills and insights needed to drive innovation, promote resiliency, and protect the rich natural and cultural heritage of the Gulf region. Let’s explore how you can make your mark!
