Congratulations to Environmental Studies majors Mishu Pham-Whipple and Danielle Bogardus, our 2016-2017 Environmental Leadership Scholarship recipients! Your leadership and efforts to raise awareness and spur action regarding environmental challenges is inspiring. 

For 24 years running, Washington Conservation Voters has hosted its Annual Breakfast of Champions to celebrate environmental leaders in the community, including ten young leaders under 30. This year, we’re proud to share that Carter Case, UW Environmental Studies alum will be recognized at the Breakfast for his work in habitat restoration and political advocacy. 

As a Mary Gates Scholar, you get recognition for being a leader, additional opportunities to present your work at conferences, and special invitations to attend dinners and lectures with prominent leaders. 

Professor Janneke Hille Ris Lambers at UW is seeking some Environmental Studies students to work with her this fall. Details below!
The HilleRisLambers lab studies the impacts of climate change on plant communities in the Pacific Northwest. 

As an Environmental Studies student, you learn how to address pressing environmental challenges and you likely have bright entrepreneurial ideas that you want to bring to life.
Now’s your chance!
This practicum from Foster’s Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship helps guide you to develop business solutions to big environmental problems.
