BEC Research, Inc is a non-profit organization devoted to improving the planet through education and research. We currently have several ongoing projects that are briefly described below. Our overarching goal is to increase diversity and inclusion in the fields of conservation and sustainability science using behavioral ecology and other accessible and engaging research programs to attract students from all academic disciplines. Our planned strategy includes education, research, and scholarships for under-represented groups in STEM. For more information, please visit our project pages for details, photos, updates, and ways to get involved. Our current research program focuses on enrichment for shelter dogs to improve their quality of life and adoption rates.
Through collaboration with our local humane society, we’re improving adoption chances for cats and dogs. Animals don’t always shine in cages, but they can be ideal pets once adopted. Our students gain valuable experience, enhancing resumes for pre-veterinary pursuits.
If you would like to support a student doing research or buying supplies such as books or technology, you can do that here. While a large donation to the university may accomplish the same, it is difficult to direct funds to a specific students. However, we will accept any amount that you are able to share, direct it to a specific student or project, and it will be tax deductible. Student profiles will be online soon if you need some help choosing a recipient.
A critical aspect of academia is sharing ideas with others in our field and helping students to identify the next step in their education – whether that’s graduate school, professional school, or straight to the workforce. This networking often takes place at professional conferences of national organizations that bring together faculty and students from across the country or around the world. If you would like to help a student attend such a conference, you can find more information about them on the Conference Support Page.
We are developing a program that will provide a semester of courses in a condensed summer program in Costa Rica. This program will be open to students of any major and will develop cultural and scientific literacy with the theme of sustainability. The summer of 2018 was spent in discussion with La Selva Biological Field Station to create an opportunity for students to learn Spanish via immersion, environmental science while living in a rainforest, and social science while visiting another culture. The program will include a service learning component and be focused on inclusion and diversity among the students.
