Assistant Project Manager for Environmental Dashboard

Oberlin's Environmental Studies program is about building a sustainable, just, and resilient future.

The next generation faces an unprecedented environmental crisis: remediating and adapting to climate change while developing sustainable systems to produce food, fuel, shelter, and fiber. These challenges, while daunting, also present tremendous opportunities to construct a world that is more socially just and more resilient. At Oberlin, we seek an understanding of the causes and consequences of our environmental predicaments, as well as the creative problem-solving skills to design a more sustainable relationship between humans and the rest of the natural world.
