The Program on the Environment (PoE) is launching the search for their next director, and is seeking input from the program’s campus-wide community in the process. We are hoping that you can support our search by providing feedback in one of two ways: attend a virtual open house, and/or complete this short survey.

Virtual open houses will take place on Zoom (link here). Please note these dates on your calendar and join us for either/both:

• Monday, February 12, 4:30 – 5:20 pm 
• Wednesday, February 14, 9:00 – 9:50 am

These meetings will provide our search committee with vital feedback on our community’s expectations for the role, define the key characteristics and experience of an exceptional director, and identify potential candidates. We welcome feedback from a wide group of constituents: our faculty colleagues, current PoE students and alumni, College of the Environment staff, and members of the public.

Drop-ins are welcome (no RSVP needed), and attendance for the full hour is not required.

If you are not able to join the open house, we still welcome your thoughts through the survey. If you are able to join us, you may fill out the survey before or after the open house. The survey will close on February 28, 2024 at 5 pm.

Please consider sharing your time to help PoE fill this important role that guides our distinct interdisciplinary program — and our work to empower students to address complex environmental challenges in an interconnected world.
