Alexa credits IDEC’s hands-on field research opportunities and strong faculty support as key foundations for her career.

A cornerstone of this work is the program’s close faculty mentorship, where students collaborate directly with professors from field research and thesis development — and in many cases, the strong collaborations continue beyond graduation.
