Future aspects of the Science Outreach Program include identifying promising science students, especially students from underrepresented populations, to become Irvine Scholars at California Lutheran University. Irvine Scholars will receive several benefits, including a series of guaranteed, paid internships with local biotechnology and health-related firms. These internships, along with access to the University's science and technology programs, will enable the CLU students to successfully achieve their career goals by being highly employable and well prepared for graduate school. Companies already committed to providing Irvine Scholar internships include Amgen, BioSource International, Matech Advanced Materials, Biopool International and Los Robles Medical Center. Teachers are learning advanced biotechnologytechniques, enabling them to better prepare tomorrow's future scientists.
Training teachers enables teachers to better train.
