Our Students
AIP students come to our program from many backgrounds - they work in formal and informal education, at nature centers and conservation NGOs, at zoos and aquariums and in animal care. They join our program because they want to advance their careers or break into new ones. They want to pursue something they are passionate about - the science of conservation, community engagement and stewardship.
Master Plan Examples
A Master Plan is a strategic roadmap for AIP students to focus on their passions, develop skills, and drive ecological or social change. It sets clear goals and benchmarks to guide their academic journey, ensuring their efforts are purposeful and aligned with their vision for making a positive impact.
AIP Student Publications
The AIP encourages students to share their voice with their community by submitting a manuscript for publication. This often evolves out of a previously prepared course assignment or is a direct product of a Master Plan goal.
