About the program听
Working towards a sustainable future requires strong leadership. Many skills that will prepare students for post-graduate sustainability careers in or beyond academia aren鈥檛 offered through traditional graduate research programs.听
The MSSI is continuing to fill that gap through programming that prepares students and early career researchers to have impactful careers.听
The MSSI Scholars program provides workshops to students in areas of policy, communications, research equity, and entrepreneurship. Workshops are delivered in collaboration with units that are internal and external to 海外直播b站.听
The 2024 cohort will consist of 15 Scholars.听
