You don’t have to leave Southern California to find a place worth exploring.
Delaney Werner ’27 discovered that through a University of Redlands May Term course, one built around spending time outside the classroom.
“For students seeking a course that offers immersive, firsthand experiences with nature but don’t have the means to travel abroad, this course is for you.”

Sienna Hepworth ’27 had calculated the odds. Hundreds of applicants yet only eight available spots — the numbers did not appear to be in her favor. Regardless of her doubts, the answer was yes. This summer, she will join seven other students selected from across the nation through the Science Foundation’s (NSF) Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program, traveling to the University of Rhode Island to work on science that stretches all the way to the Arctic.
A double major in environmental science and geographic information systems (GIS), Hepworth will work alongside Fulbright Scholar Dr. Brice Loose, validating a new protocol for measuring microplastic ingestion in Arctic zooplankton.
“I kept thinking I wasn’t going to get it,” she said. “But I also think that coming from University of Redlands looks unique on an application.”
Having completed research coursework and an internship abroad, Hepworth’s Redlands experiences made each step towards this opportunity feel like a natural progression. Along the way, faculty helped shape her confidence.
“As a Redlands student, professors are looking out for you,” she said. “Dan Klooster and Valerie Rountree have emailed me when they’ve come across something that may be in my best interest. It makes me think, ‘Why would I not get an internship or research project?’ Coming from a small liberal arts school and getting these opportunities — I think that totally speaks to a Redlands education.”
Beyond the experiences themselves, Hepworth’s REU research will be published, attaching her name to science that could inform how the world measures and responds to microplastic contamination in Earth's water.
“What sets this research apart is that the method we’re going to be looking at has not been researched before,” she said. “We’ll be making a new system, a new protocol for measuring microplastic ingestion in plankton, and that’s something that can have massive implications and is important to do research on.”
