On Oct 25th we celebrated Institute of the Environment Faculty Fellows and Graduate Scholars at the Faculty Fellows and Graduate Scholars Symposium. Thank you to everyone who was able to join us for riveting conversations surrounding environmental and climate research.

The symposium included lightning talks from IE Faculty Fellows, Michele Barbato, Jasquelin Peña, and Emily Schlickman. Following the lightning talks, there was overview of the graduate student posters, including the IE Earth and Environmental and Climate Justice Scholars, the Community and Citizen Science Conservation Fellows (CCS), and the Environmental Policy Management Environmental Justice Fellows (EPM).
