SNRE Envoys is a cross-disciplinary group of Masters Students working to promote and strengthen diversity within the student population of the school. Our group is focused on improving our recruiting strategy for under-represented groups in the school. This can include everything from ethnic to geographic to socio-economic to ideological diversity and much more. We are also looking to strengthen SNRE by having events that celebrate diversity and involve the whole SNREd community in the ongoing discussion about this important topic.

Editor's Note: This blog post was written by Jenny Cooper (MS Environment & Natural Resources, Sustainable Systems, 2014). Cooper completed Climate Ride last week, and was invited to share this experience with the SNRE community.
As a summer intern at the World Resources Institute (WRI) in the Markets and Enterprise Program, SNRE M.S. student Emily Taylor had the opportunity to be on the cutting edge of financing climate change mitigation. Emily received funding for her internship through the Edna Bailey Sussman Fund Environmental Internship Program. This generous funding enables SNRE students to accept non-paying internship positions in environmental fields.
