Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> high school, college students and K–12 teachers are invited to apply for a new, free Summer Research Institute<\/a> designed to spark innovation in agriculture, environmental sustainability, food systems, fashion and family and community resilience.<\/p>\n

The eight-week program, offered by the University of Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> at Mānoa College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resilience<\/a> (CTAHR<\/abbr>), runs from June 9 to August 1, and is open to students from Oʻahu,<\/span> Â鶹´«Ã½<\/span> Island, Kauaʻi,<\/span> Maui and Molokaʻi<\/span>.

“This new program is specifically created to provide high school, community college and undergraduate students the real-world skills, and prepare them for the next stage of their lives,” said CTAHR<\/abbr> Dean Parwinder Grewal. “We invite students to explore this new opportunity to contribute to society and to advance their careers.”<\/p>\n
