Twelve college students and recent graduates from around the country joined us this summer for the 19th annual Randal Fellowship, an eight-week immersion program in The Piedmont Environmental Council’s work and exploration of conservation-related careers.
Fellowship Program
The highly acclaimed PEC Randal Fellowship is much more than an internship. Each year, twelve students are selected for this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to spend eight weeks studying with seasoned professionals in land conservation, planning, agriculture, and more.
