The Office of Sustainability works with centers and programs across the Emory campus and Emory Healthcare to further Emory's sustainability goals.
Environmental Studies Department
The Environmental Studies Department at Emory offers an interdisciplinary and integrative program designed to equip students with basic skills, capabilities, and knowledge to confront a suite of environmental issues. Departmental course offerings may lead to a Master's of Public Health, a Bachelor of Science, or a Bachelor of Arts, as well as a minor in Environmental Studies. The department also offers field and integrative courses that compel students to synthesize concepts, methods and practice from relevant disciplines of the environment. Student internships and undergraduate research opportunities are emphasized.
Oxford Institute for Environmental Education
The Oxford Institute for Environmental Education is designed to help teachers -- regardless of background or grade level -- develop their own teaching plans using their school yards for scientific investigation. For ten days in the summer, participating teachers learn the basic principles of ecology in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, how to apply this knowledge to lesson plans, and how to develop their school yards for environmental education. At a follow-up meeting in the fall, teachers share their experiences in implementing their teaching plans and discuss continuing projects.
Office of University and Community Partnerships
The OUCP mission lies in two essential, interwoven purposes: through teaching, to help men and women fully develop their intellectual, aesthetic, and moral capacities; and through the quest for new knowledge and public service, to improve human well-being. These purposes rest upon the premises that education is the most powerful social force of our time for enabling and ennobling the individual, and that the privilege of education entails an obligation to use knowledge for the common good.
