Institute for Social, Economic, and Ecological Sustainability
The Institute for Social, Economic, and Ecological Sustainability (ISEES) believes that a sustainable society is one that balances economic development, ecological concerns, and the general well being of all individuals. To aid in the establishment of such a society, the Institute has focused on the education of the present and coming generations by hosting the Ecosystem Science and Sustainability Initiative, which has created an undergraduate minor in Sustainability Studies and works to educate our teachers and journalists on ecological issues. Having also formulated programs on sustainable aquaculture and the governance of biotechnology, ISSES stresses interdisciplinary research and works to educate students about the importance of collaboration between fields in their coming careers. |
