"Champlain College and the University of Vermont have joined forces to offer a new course entitled, "EcoDiplomacy Academy: Strategies for Environmental Diplomacy and Security" to help resolve environmental and resource-based conflicts locally and around the world.
Champlain College Provost Robin Abramson and UVM Provost Jane Knodell met recently to sign a letter of agreement allowing the two higher education institutions to work together through the UVM Institute for Environmental Diplomacy and Security (IEDS) at UVM's Jeffords Center for Policy Research and Champlain College's Master's in Mediation and Applied Conflict Studies (MACS) Program. The first course will run July 11-12, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. with instructors Saleem H. Ali, director of IEDS, and Julian Portilla, director of MACS."
