Interdisciplinary Minor in Environmental Ethics (INEE)

The INEE provides undergraduate students with the intellectual resources needed to reflect on the ethical dimensions of environmental issues. Five core courses develop student's knowledge and skills in the natural sciences and the theological and philosophical traditions that are relevant to the minor. It culminates in a capstone seminar during which students will identify the ethical questions pertaining to a particular environmental problem and develop approaches to its resolution. When appropriate and feasible, students serve in private and public organizations, government agencies and businesses that are addressing the problem. Students are encouraged to take courses in their primary fields of study that complement INEE and to draw upon them during their capstone experiences. The director of the program is Dr. Jame Schaefer.

Visit the INEE Web site for more information. If you know of any other classes that should be added to the list, please e-mail them to us.

Let’s talk trash...

Recycling is now easier than ever with the introduction of single-stream recycling. All acceptable recyclables can be placed in any of the recycling bins – no sorting needed – including the small blue recycling bins in classrooms and offices. And we’re recycling more items than ever before. A new PDF is available as an easy reference guide on what can be recycled and how.
