Update on our Research Trip

April 11, 2020

Dear Donors,

 

Due to the evolving crisis regarding COVID-19, we have decided to cancel our research trip to New Mexico. This difficult decision was made in an attempt to minimize health risks to the public as much as possible. Your generous donations remain safe with the UCLA Foundation and can only be spent on the purpose of a research trip for the Tribal Oil and Gas project.

 

We cannot thank you enough for your support, and we hope that you are all staying safe during this time.

 

Sincerely,

New Mexico Practicum Team

Research Trip Postponed

March 18, 2020

Dear Donors,

 

We are disheartened to let you know that our research trip to New Mexico has been postponed until further notice due to the evolving COVID-19 situation. The University has suspended all university-related international and domestic travel given the associated public health risk of traveling during this time. We thank you for all your support and we will be sure to update you on our research progress.

 

We hope all of you are staying safe and healthy!

 

Sincerely,

New Mexico Practicum Team

Campaign Relaunch!

January 31, 2020

Dear Donors,

 

Your generous donations thus far have let us plan our research trip to New Mexico! With your help, we were able to raise $2,586, and along with University grants, we were able to hit most of our fundraising goal. We re-evaluated and decided to cut back on travel expenses and are now road tripping to New Mexico. We are re-launching our SPARK campaign from January 31st onwards. Our new goal is now $3500 to cover remaining necessities -- this includes food, lodging, and transportation expenses. To learn more about what your donations will do, please visit our webpage at: https://spark.ucla.edu/project/18036

 

Please consider sharing with friends and family. Your contributions are greatly appreciated!

 

Thank you!

 

Respectfully,

IoES New Mexico Practicum Team
