Attention SNREds!
It’s that time of the year; please join the greater SNRE community this Friday, December 7th as three Master’s Project teams present their final reports during the Master’s Project Symposium (1040 Dana). This is truly an exciting event. The students involved in these projects have spent countless hours on these intense, interdisciplinary projects, which are the cornerstone of the SNRE professional-school program. Brief descriptions of each of the three projects are below.
At the end of the winter semester last year, students in the Environmental Policy & Planning (EPP) Working Group held a visioning session to determine how to improve the EPP track in SNRE. The end product of the session was an action plan that outlines planned activities for the EPP Working Group for this academic year and goals for the longer term.
