91ÉçÇø

Previously known as the 91ÉçÇø School of Environment, the School was renamed in 2020, in recognition of a generous gift to 91ÉçÇø to further the interdisciplinary teaching, research, and experiential learning capacity for students in the School. For those wishing to pursue a career in environment, the Bieler School of Environment aims to stimulate a passion for life-long learning, confidence in questioning established norms, ingenuity and openness to new ideas, and the ability to communicate and contribute effectively in all situations. We believe that these goals are best achieved through opportunities to witness, experience, and participate in diverse academic approaches. We also believe that major research achievements emerge out of a dynamic, interactive community where dialogue occurs among engaged students, staff, and faculty from all disciplines. To these ends, we strive to achieve a fully integrated, transdisciplinary understanding of problems and solutions to the many and interdependent environmental crises in a manner that bridges the social sciences and humanities with the natural and applied sciences.
