The College of Arts & Sciences Environmental Faculty represents ten academic departments from all disciplinary areas of the humanities, social sciences and natural sciences. ENVP faculty engage with our undergraduate students in classes, laboratories, field trips, and undergraduate research. We work together to deliver cutting-edge learning and high-impact experiences that build students' professional skills and knowledge while fostering a deep understanding of the complex and dynamic relationship between human societies and the natural environment.
Environmental Programs Advisory Committee
The Environmental Programs Advisory Committee, chaired by the ENVP Director, is elected by the Arts & Sciences Environmental Faculty to support in short- and long-term planning, student recruitment, internship, outreach, and public education activities and to advise on other matters as requested by the Director or the Faculty.
