I chose Michigan (and SNRE) because of the quality of the program and the possibilities offered within each program. What also attracted me is the interdisciplinary approach and the possibility of tailoring the program to your specific interests. The faculty impressed me having top researchers in all program areas. As a student now, I feel that being in contact with different fields of study is a great opportunity to learn more about each FOS perspective.
I chose SNRE because of its multi-disciplinary approach to addressing environmental issues.The breadth and diversity of faculty and students interests (from aquatics, to environmental justice, to land use policy) signalled to me that I would receive a unique and dynamic education.I was also inspired by the variety of careers that SNRE alumni have.
Dual Degree: Urban Planning
SNRE allows for flexibility to focus on your specific skills and interests. The Master's Project is just one example of flexibility, plus the projects industry focus ensures its relevance. The faculty and staff at UM are incredibly knowledgeable and accessible.
SNRE students and alums gathered Thursday for their regular happy hour at Jolly Pumpkin. Tom Wagner, Class of '71 (pictured on right) told stories about his days in the Dana Building before SNR got its 'E', Erik Herzog, Class of '89, told us about his work at the EPA and 2004 graduate Michael DiRamio talked about the beginnings of the Sustainable Systems track. A good time had by all! Thanks to all the students and alums who came! We look forward to this every month.
