The Master of Environmental Studies (MES) recently celebrated its 20th anniversary at Penn. Over the past two decades, MES has championed a multidisciplinary approach to environmental work and research and has trained leaders in the field today. A combination of core sciences, policy knowledge, and hands-on application prepare students to tackle the complex issues facing our natural world.
The College of Liberal and Professional Studies (LPS) has launched a website dedicated to the program’s 20th anniversary, featuring a video of MES faculty and students speaking to the program’s strengths and unique offerings. There is also information about the MES team, a calendar of events, a digital portfolio of student and alumni work, and a series of slideshows covering a wide range of MES-related topics, from “20 Ways You Can Shop Greener and Cleaner” to “20 Employers Where MES Alumni Have Landed.”
