WED. Oct. 17, 12:30 pm, Rm 333 Cole Science Ceter.  Pizza provided.

Make a career out of your concerns about climate change, ocean pollution and
sustainable development. Learn how you can make a difference by choosing Duke
University's Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences.

Duke’s Nicholas School is among the world’s premier graduate professional
schools for the interdisciplinary study of the environment. Meet Lisa Rattray,
Admissions Officer for the Nicholas School, at a presentation on Wednesday,
October 17, at 12:30 pm, in Room 333, Cole Science Center, to learn about
graduate opportunities as well as undergraduate courses available at the Duke
Marine Lab. Pizza will be provided.

The Nicholas School fully integrates science, policy and economics in its
environmental sciences program, providing both theoretical and practical
education in Earth & Ocean Sciences, Environmental Science & Policy, and Marine
Science & Conservation.

Lisa will discuss the two-year professional Master of Environmental Management
(MEM) degree that combines science, policy and business to solve environmental
issues. Areas of study include:

  - Ecosystem Science & Sustainability – to improve understanding of how 
natural ecosystems function, the human impacts on them and strategies to 
provide a sustainable future for all life on Earth.

  - Environmental Health – to improve understanding of the linkage between
environmental quality and human health and to forecast changes to human health
as a result of global environmental change.

  - Business & the Environment – to work within the corporate sector to 
promote sustainable business practices, based on the principles of 
industrial ecology, use of renewable sources of energy and material-use 
efficiencies.

Duke's MEM degree trains and prepares future environmental scientists, 
leaders in environmental policy and ecosystem managers. Our graduates 
dominate national policy and are widely employed in industry, government 
and not-for-profit NGOs.
