There will be a presentation on Thursday, October 2nd at 12:00 PM in MCZ 101 about the Operation Wallacea biodiversity research methodology and conservation management strategies. With a team of academics from across Europe and North America, Operation Wallacea (<http://www.opwall.com>) supports long term biodiversity monitoring projects as well as specialized research investigations at 24 sites in 11 countries.  
   
Students can join the research expeditions during the summer months to gain experience with field research and data collection:

\* Research Assistants  
[http://opwall.com/undergrad-research-assistants/research-assistant-over…](http://opwall.com/undergrad-research-assistants/research-assistant-overview/) - volunteers gain experience performing various survey methods and taking field ecology training courses; serves as a volunteer-based internship and some credit options are available.

\* Thesis Students  
[http://opwall.com/senior-thesis-dissertations/options-for-dissertations…](http://opwall.com/senior-thesis-dissertations/options-for-dissertations-and-senior-theses/) - Operation Wallacea provides support for students to collect data for a thesis project at the undergraduate or Master's level.

\* Expedition Medicine Course  
<http://opwall.com/undergrad-research-assistants/medical-courses/> - a chance for Pre-Med students to experience field medicine with expedition teams working in remote areas.

There are funding opportunities available from within our organization, and we also provide fundraising advice to volunteers in a follow up meeting that will take place at the university.
