Your support truly makes a difference! Your gift to the School helps our students, some of the brightest and most dedicated in the world, become the environmental leaders of today and tomorrow. Discretionary support is especially valuable, as it provides the Dean with flexibility to use funds where needs are most pressing.

• An expanded set of interdisciplinary course offerings, including sustainable systems, environmental informatics and integrated assessment
• Student master's projects support, including work on brownfield development, local sustainable food supply systems and strategies to cut Michigan's greenhouse gas emissions
