Institute for the Environment & Sustainability
at Miami University
Support IES
All of our programs emphasize both disciplinary depth and interdisciplinary breadth to environmental science and sustainability. Students are prepared to communicate effectively, use problem-solving approaches, and work in interdisciplinary teams, skills that translate into successful careers in today's complex and changing professional environment.
Your generous support helps undergraduates in the environmental science and sustainability co-majors in research or internship experiences, and graduate assistantships or travel to professional meetings for students in the master of environmental science program. Gifts can also support student team projects that provide professional experiences for students and community outreach to public and non-profit organizations.
