Diversifying the student body of natural resources (NR) programs by increasing numbers of women and people of color is important. This study explored factors influencing undergraduate interest in NR, including forestry, and decision to enroll in an NR undergraduate program at a large 1862 land-grant institution in the southeastern United States. We looked at how their responses differ between gender, race/ethnicity, and the environment surrounding their home where they grew up, a variable we call the environment of influence. Overall, results confirm the importance of connection to nature. Interest in enrolling in an NR program and pursuing a career depend in large part on having a connection to nature and concern for the environment, and this is true for those who grew up in urban as well as rural environments. A notable difference between female and male respondents was when their interest in NR began: females reported early childhood age, and males reported in high school or later. Interest also occurred later in life for nonwhite/Hispanic students than for white/non-Hispanic students. Other racial/ethnic differences include the influence of guest speakers, family, and media in the interest and enrollment in NR. Media also played a strong role in NR enrollment and interest in the respondents from suburban and built environments. We conclude with recommendations for recruiting a more diverse undergraduate NR body and creating a more inclusive environment for people from different genders, races, and environments of influence.

影响少数民族和城市学生对自然资源兴趣的因素

通过增加有色人种和有色人种来使自然资源(NR)课程的学生群体多样化很重要。这项研究探讨了影响本科生对自然科学的兴趣的因素,包括林业,以及决定在美国东南部一家大型1862年土地授予机构注册自然科学本科课程的决定。我们研究了他们的反应在性别,种族/民族以及他们长大后的住所周围的环境之间的差异,我们将其称为影响力环境。总体而言,结果证实了与自然联系的重要性。参加自然保护项目和从事职业的兴趣在很大程度上取决于与自然的联系和对环境的关注,这对于那些在城市和农村环境中成长的人都是如此。男性和女性受访者之间的显着差异是他们对自然保护的兴趣开始的时间:女性报告说是儿童年龄,而男性报告说是高中或以后。与非白人/非西班牙裔学生相比,非白人/西班牙裔学生在生活中也产生了兴趣。其他种族/族裔差异包括演讲嘉宾,家庭和媒体对自然保护区的兴趣和注册的影响。媒体在NR注册和对郊区和建筑环境的受访者的兴趣方面也发挥了重要作用。最后,我们提出了一些建议,以招募更多种类的自然科学本科生,并为来自不同性别,种族和影响力环境的人们创造一个更具包容性的环境。男性是在高中或更高学历的。与非白人/非西班牙裔学生相比,非白人/西班牙裔学生在生活中也产生了兴趣。其他种族/族裔差异包括演讲嘉宾,家庭和媒体对自然保护区的兴趣和注册的影响。媒体在NR注册和对郊区和建筑环境的受访者的兴趣方面也发挥了重要作用。最后,我们提出了一些建议,以招募更多种类的自然科学本科生,并为来自不同性别,种族和影响力环境的人们创造一个更具包容性的环境。男性是在高中或更高学历的。与非白人/非西班牙裔学生相比,非白人/西班牙裔学生在生活中也产生了兴趣。其他种族/族裔差异包括演讲嘉宾,家庭和媒体对NR兴趣和注册人数的影响。媒体在NR注册和对郊区和建筑环境的受访者的兴趣方面也发挥了重要作用。最后,我们提出了一些建议,以招募更多种类的自然科学本科生,并为来自不同性别,种族和影响力环境的人们创造一个更具包容性的环境。媒体在NR注册和对郊区和建筑环境的受访者的兴趣方面也发挥了重要作用。最后,我们提出了一些建议,以招募更多种类的自然科学本科生,并为来自不同性别,种族和影响力的人们创造一个更具包容性的环境。媒体在NR注册和对郊区和建筑环境的受访者的兴趣方面也发挥了重要作用。最后,我们提出了一些建议,以招募更多种类的自然科学本科生,并为来自不同性别,种族和影响力环境的人们创造一个更具包容性的环境。
