The other day I decided I wanted to get myself a bouquet of flowers after my Pilates class and yall I shit you not after my class ended the Pilates studio was setting up a Bloom Bar and let us all create our own bouquet of flowers for free! They have never done anything like this before and didn’t mention it prior so I had no idea it was even gonna happen! I was planning on going to Trader Joe’s or something to get the bouquet (turns out the studio was celebrating a grand opening so that’s why they set up the bloom bar they also had snacks and drinks too)

I am interested in starting an MPA (maybe MPP?) with an end goal of working at an environmental or animal focused organization (nature conservancy, WWF, ASPCA, nat geo society etc) are there any colleges with strong ties to this industry??

Hi everyone. A little background on me- bachelors in psychology, worked in people ops/HR/payroll, currently work at a healthcare lab. I am doing a wildlife rehab externship this summer and I volunteer doing equine assisted therapy. I have many additional years of non profit volunteer experience, mainly all focused on animal welfare and environmental conservation. I am interested in changing my career to nonprofit work as I’m very mission driven

Would an online MPA be advised? are there any programs that focus on animal behavior/welfare/rehabilitation or wildlife/environmental/ecological conservation? Is it possible to make meaningful connections when doing an online MPA? Also, are you able to work in policy with an MPA?

I will be volunteering/externing at a wildlife rehabilitation center this summer but not sure what type of shoes/boots I will need. I do plan on asking them for recommendations before I start but figured I’d ask you guys also
