Of the 160 projects announced since November 2012, 16 have at least one SNRE faculty member (19 total faculty). In addition to the Q-fever project, here are titles, project summaries and faculty role (with field of study) in the other 15 projects.
Why Michigan?
SNRE offers me the opportunity to pursue my interests in this vast field and it has been the best learning experience I have ever had. There are many valuable resources could be utilized on and off the campus. Plus, I very much enjoyed my life in Ann Arbor. Go Blue!
Why Michigan?
SNRE was an easy choice. The school has a very close-knit community and maintains strong relationships with other departments on campus. I was eager to meet students and faculty who shared my specific interests related to the environment, but I was also excited broaden my horizons. The range of people and projects at SNRE and UM in general make for a very dynamic and diverse intellectual community.
Why Michigan?
The strength of the social sciences at SNRE really makes it stand out against its competition. For me, these opportunities have included a masters project on an innovative federal land management policy, a course on ecosystem services, and researching current environmental legislation. These courses and projects ensure that the program serves the students well in post-graduate endeavors where they can truly make an impact.
Dual Degree: Public Policy
Why Michigan?
I decided to attend SNRE because of my faculty advisers. My research is in Latin America and both faculty members have renowned research in the area. Moreover, the University of Michigan offers an array of resources and opportunities to conduct research abroad. My own research in Ecuador and my studies of the Quechua language of Peru have been sponsored by UM and SNRE. The masters program truly fosters cross-disciplinary studies and collaboration.
Why Michigan?
I chose SNRE becuase of the program's broad strength in the policy and planning field and becuase I could combine SNRE's curriculum with resources from the univeristy's top-tier law, business, and policy schools. Michigan is far from mountains, which tend to distract me; location was also a factor.
Why Michigan?
University of Michigan is a flagship of prestigeous programs. As a professional shifting career path with 7 years of international experience, SNRE and other nationally and internationally top programs, such as policy, business, public health, and economics, will provide with me the most diverse opportunity in dealing with my learning needs horizontally and vertically.
Dual Degree: Econ
Why Michigan?
I selected U of M for its diverse cultural community and top-notch research opportunities. SNRE offered me an ideal blend of natural and social sciences-based curriculum and training that has deepened my understanding and honed my skills in handling complex natural resource management issues
