Are you concerned by the environmental challenges facing Mississippi or the world? Are you wondering how Mississippi issues reflect the greater environmental challenges? Are you looking for the scientific knowledge and leadership skills needed to take action on critical environmental issues?
The Environmental Conservation Leadership Program, focused on environmental sustainability, will pair students with University of Mississippi professors conducting research on issues associated with conservation, pollution control, water quality, ecosystem services and environmental stewardship. The program will provide learning opportunities and leadership development via hands-on experiences, field trips and group activities. Through a thorough understanding of the complex and interrelated world in which we find ourselves, each participant will come to consider multiple and innovative solutions to living sustainably.
