| The School seeks to maintain a relatively small graduate program size in order to keep its personal and community-oriented atmosphere. Student work spans the disciplines from pollution ecology to environmental philosophy. Thus, to keep both formal and informal interaction among students and disciplines, the right size is a community of between 70 to 100 active graduate students. | |
| Graduate students interact frequently with their "hand-picked" Graduate Studies Committee to discuss the development and progress of their class work and research. In addition, students interact with each other and the administration of the School through the Graduate Student Advisory Board (GSAB). Among other activities, this group of volunteer leaders organizes informal introductory meetings with faculty to begin to get students and faculty to know each other, and to make selections of students' Studies Committee easier. The GSAB also administers a small grants program each semester to provide incidental and often critical funding for students' research. Another example of the important role in student life that the GSAB plays are the occasional ice cream socials and work done to improve and maintain facilities like the Graduate Student Center. | |
| We hope that being a graduate student in RSENR will be a rewarding and productive experience. | |
