Academic Affairs: Areas of Distinction

Environment and Climate Awareness

"A sound program in Environmental Studies may show the way to attack other multidisciplinary problems. Some of these are population problems, urban renewal, black studies, resource utilization, and in-depth regional studies." John C. Crowell, author of "University Reorganization Through Environmental Studies" in Journal of Research and Development in Education, 6(1), 1972.
