About Us
Graduate Assistants
Graduate students serve as the lifeblood of the research program at the Borderlands Research Institute. With their faculty mentors, graduate students collect and analyze data to help answer research questions posed by natural resource managers and land stewards.
Educational opportunities not only come in the more traditional settings of classrooms and lecture halls, but some of the most effective settings for teaching occur behind a windshield, under a shade tree, or on the side of a mountain. The dialogues and discussions that emerge in these outdoor learning environments will long be remembered by our students.
The Chihuahuan Desert Borderlands offer some of the most scenic outdoor classrooms available worldwide. From monitoring hummingbird nests and migration routes to assessing rangeland health, our students receive a wealth of opportunities working first hand with the natural resources.
