The Directory contains detailed information on undergraduate and graduate interdisciplinary programs, including the full spectrum of environmental disciplines. We are in the process of collecting information for the Directory and want to make sure that your institution is included. Administrators, faculty and staff can submit information through a Survey Form at . The form is designed to collect information about program objectives, information on the process of establishing the program, special opportunites for students, employment statistics and contact names for colleagues and prospective students. The Directory was designed with several audiences. DHEEP will assist students seeking interdisciplinary programs, faculty and administrators working to improve or establish degree-granting programs and employers looking for graduates with appropriate academic backgrounds. The Directory is suitable for degree-granting programs only; it is not suitable for certificate programs or for programs that offer a minor with an environmental focus. We are focusing on degree-granting programs in an effort to simplify the information available in the Directory. The Directory is a free resource for those who seek environmental education information. We are asking the programs that submit information to consider making a $100 tax-deductible donation to help defray program operating costs. DHEEP is a project of the Committee for the National Institute for the Environment. The Committee is a national non-profit organization with a mission to improve the scientific basis for making decisions on environmental issues through the creation of a National Institute for the Environment, a non-regulatory science institution. Please contact Alison Lee at (202) 530-5810 or staff@cnie.org for more information. ********************************************** Committee for the National Institute for the Environment Improving the Scientific Basis for Environmental Decisions Alison Lee Project Associate 1725 K Street, NW Suite 212 PHONE 202-530-5810 Washington, DC 20006 FAX 202-628-4311 staff@cnie.org http://www.cnie.org **********************************************
