Salt Bridge Farm Podcast - Episode 12 - Rutgers University SEBS with Jack Harris

Описание: Host Dennis welcomes Jack Harris, an assistant teaching professor and sustainability program director at Rutgers’ School of Environmental and Biological Sciences (SEBS), to discuss SEBS as Rutgers’ land-grant unit and its mission to serve New Jersey communities through teaching, research, and extension. They describe how their connection began through grant work and led to placing two Rutgers interns at Salt Bridge Farm to fulfill SEBS’ required experiential learning credits. Jack outlines SEBS history from the Morrill Act and the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station, plus career paths for students in policy, planning, nonprofits, business, government, law, marine science, biotechnology, environmental and plant sciences, and animal sciences. He shares internship advice focused on clear goals, openness, and adaptability, and they explore expanding collaboration via internships, community-engaged projects, and grants, along with Rutgers’ statewide experiment stations and extension presence.
