White Earth Internship at IBSL

As part of Itasca Station's commitment to tribal communities, two three-week paid internships are offered in scientific research for local Native American youth every June.

Science in Nature

This program series is held jointly with Itasca State Park as part of their popular Naturalist Program Series. Scientist presenters lead a one-hour program for general park visitors of all age groups.

IBSL Booster Club

The IBSL Booster Club’s mission is to connect people with opportunities in research and education in a fieldwork setting at the University of Minnesota Itasca Biological Research Station and Laboratories. Through networking and outreach, this student group encourages the engagement of all interested community members in order to ensure that fieldwork is an experience available to all.

Big River Continuum

This exchange program between Itasca Biological Station and Laboratories — the first field station on the river — and A Studio in the Woods — an artist residency and one site of the Lower Coast Field Station — turns the Mississippi River and all that it represents into a platform for creative collaboration with artists, scientists, and communities. Big River Continuum is premised on the idea of true reciprocity among artists, scientists, and communities driven by a deep curiosity about and concern for the river and all it represents.
