The Earth Institute will host the annual Environmental and Sustainable Development Programs Open House on Monday, October 20 from 4:00 pm to 6:30 pm in the Rotunda of Low Library, here on Columbia’s Morningside campus (116th and Broadway).
Please go to: http://www.earth.columbia.edu/articles/view/2242 for registration.
This is a great event where representatives from each of Columbia’s degree and non-degree programs in environment and sustainable development come together to speak to prospective students about all that Columbia has to offer in these fields. With nearly 30 degree and non-degree offerings, Columbia has one of the largest collections of environment and sustainable development education programs in the world; this Open House is your chance to learn more about them.
For prospective undergraduates interested in studying environmental or sustainable development in college, for those seeking to switch careers or advance in their jobs by furthering their education, and for those interested in learning about environment and sustainable development issues and how Columbia’s programs address them, the Open House provides a forum to ask questions and gather information.
If you are a current or former student in one of our programs, you know about our dedicated instructors, world-class facilities and comprehensive resources for those studying environment and sustainable development here. We encourage you to spread the word about this Open House to friends and colleagues who might be interested in our programs.
If you are considering a major or have thought about pursuing higher education opportunities in environment or sustainable development, please join us to learn how our programs can help you reach your goals.

The Earth Institute @ Columbia University
Special Concentration in Sustainable Development
Undergraduate Discussion Panel
Attention Undergraduates! Are you interested in the new Special Concentration in Sustainable Development but unsure of how to apply this type of specialization? Would you like to learn more about the research and career opportunities in this field?
If so, the Earth Institute would like to invite you to our undergraduate-centered discussion panel entitled ‘A Future in Sustainable Development’, to be held on Tuesday, November 13th from 6:00 – 7:00 pm. The panel will feature four third-year doctoral students from the PhD program in Sustainable Development; the background and research interests of these students varies tremendously, and attendees will have the opportunity to hear about such topics as climate change and natural catastrophes risk management, the interaction between epidemiology and poverty (e.g. in the case of malaria), political dimensions of health equity and exploring new approaches to the analysis of economic and environmental issues.
This event was specifically designed for undergraduates who are interested in the new special concentration, and will provide an opportunity for students to ask questions about research and career opportunities in sustainable development, and to hear from doctoral students in the only Sustainable Development program of its kind in the world. The PhD students will be a great source of information for those interested in this exciting new field, and we hope that you will consider joining us.
This event will be held on Tuesday, November 13th from 6:00 – 7:00pm in room 1118 of the International Affairs building.
If you have questions or would like to RSVP, please contact Amanda McIntosh at 212-854-8177 or ajm2137@columbia.edu.
