To further the ENR Program's mission of "engaging the law to support sustainability on earth," the Program has developed theme-based projects that draw upon existing faculty strengths and provide synergistic opportunities for: promoting student experience, providing service to the community, reaching out to diverse communities, bringing global content to the curriculum, and bringing intellectual energy to bear on some of the most challenging and cutting-edge environmental issues of our day. The ENR's five interdisciplinary projects are:
The Energy Law and Policy Project: Exploring innovative law and policy to promote a green energy future The Global Environmental Democracy Project: Preparing students to be advocates for global change The Native Environmental Sovereignty Project: Examining emerging tribal roles in comanaging lands and resources The Oceans, Coasts, and Watersheds Project: Engaging the law to promote sustainability for ocean, coastal, and freshwater resources The Sustainable Land Use Project: Evaluating land use laws, theories, and practices to ensure sustainable development in our communities In each of these projects, we take a wide perspective on the issues and integrate traditional course work with more specialized study. Law students work to advance each of these projects through ENR's Fellows Program. Each academic year, several second and third year students are appointed as Fellows and are charged with advancing various aspects of the program and the five interdisciplinary projects through research, event planning, and public outreach. 2008-09 FellowsSanti Alston, Abby Blodgett, Matthew Bromley, Andy Engel, Erin Farris, Jasmine Hites, Teresa Jacobs, Holly Jacobson, Autumn Johnson, Anika Leerssen, John Mellgren, Maureen McGee, Michelle Platt, Katy Polluconi, Samuel Roberts, Meg Rowe, Naomi Rowden, Allison Torbitt, Cadence Whiteley |
