Four professionals are now part of our RCE team, with the support of our Think Tank. With PhDs, extensive teaching and/or research experience, and interest in serving broader sustainability issues, they explore individual research, presentation, and writing interests. The Fellows Program offers a professional title, research affiliate status at PSU, and opportunities to apply for grants through GPSEN’s non-profit status. Their interests vary from biodiversity and agriculture to climate change and community mapping. The Fellows application is available on our website.
