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.
The leaves are hinting at a change and the crisp air of autumn is on its way. What better time of year to kick your running legs into gear than with a morning run through the Arb? The 2nd annual Run for the Arb 5k will take place at 9am on September 29th. Registration is $25 and includes a T-Shirt.
All proceeds will go to the Arb and Matthaei Botanical Gardens. Space is limited, so register online soon: http://www.lsa.umich.edu/mbg/happening/rfta2012.asp
Yes, the rumors are true. The epic (and we do NOT use that word lightly) SNRE barbecue event of the year is on! You definitely don't want to miss this (and you might event want to help make it happen--more on that below).
We will have delicious microbrews from local breweries!
We will have tasty, slow cooked food for all dietary persuasions!
It is going to be fantastic and what better way to kick off the new school year than with all of the above and the good company of your fellow SNREds?

Calling all students to the first SNRE town hall of the year! We want your feedback!
Please join us to share your views on the first weeks of the fall semester and to discuss paths forward for our fair institution. StudGov representatives will be in Dana 1040 at 4:30pm on Sept. 19 to facilitate a discussion on any and all matters regarding the SNRE student experience.
Students are strongly encourage to attend. Weather and can-do spirits permitting, we'll likely head to Dominick's following the meeting (~6pm) to kick back and continue the conversation.
The goal of the SNRE blog is to serve as a communication hub for the entire SNRE community. From highlighting student accomplishments, to providing faculty research spotlights, and sharing weekly Dean updates, the blog will feature exciting things happening within in the SNRE community. So pull up a chair, grab a cup of organic free trade coffee (or tea), and enjoy the blog!
