Environment & Sustainability Program Advisory Council

The Environment & Sustainability Program is supported by a diverse group of individuals from across the campus and community who support the Program in specific and informal ways. (Membership is open to volunteers; if you are interested in participating, please contact the Program Director.) The Advisory Council functions as a “board of directors” and is dedicated to keeping the Program as interdisciplinary as possible. Its membership emphasizes participation from outside of GES; faculty teaching core classes in the undergraduate and graduate programs, including GES faculty, participate in the relevant program committees.
