The Environmental Leadership Program is part of the University of Oregon Environmental Studies Program. We provide graduate and undergraduate students an opportunity to team up with government agencies, non-profit organizations, and local businesses to work on real-world environmental monitoring, mapping, and education and outreach projects.

Our projects offer students capstone learning experiences that put into practice the principles, knowledge, and skills they are pursuing in their academic work. Our mission is to:

  1. Develop opportunities for students to develop professional-level research, writing and presentation skills;
  2. Provide graduate students research design and project management skills;
  3. Provide low-cost services to agencies and organizations in Lane County; and
  4. Create a network of professional relationships in the region for our students.

The Environmental Leadership Program offers undergraduate students opportunities to work with businesses and government agencies on important environmental issues.

Students will develop leadership skills and receive 4-8 credits for their participation in this intense experience.
