In our second weekly Climate and Energy Brown-Bag Lunch, we will be hosting an information session for the Brown Environmental Fellows program. BEF seeks to introduce students to the intersection between environmental science, policy, and practice. Working Brown faculty and environmental practitioners, fellows will gain direct experience pursuing environmental research in the context of regulatory and conservation practice. Heather Leslie and Meredith Hastings will present the work they are doing for BEF, and other mentors will be present to talk about all the neat stuff they’re doing. Free Pizza! Tuesday, Oct. 20th, 12-1pm in MM317.
From the ECI Website:
THE FIRST COHORT OF BEF STUDENTS BEGINS SPRING 2010
Timeline:
Fall 2009 – Project development. Prospective fellows work with a Brown mentor and an environmental practitioner to develop a research plan addressing a practical or policy question of current interest to the practitioner.
Spring 2010 – Selection of Fellows. Research teams chosen through a competitive process. Applications available in early October. Throughout the spring, fellows and mentors refine project scope and direction.
Summer 2010 – Research. Fellows pursue research project, working closely with faculty and external mentors.
Fall 2010 – Analyze, Reflect, and Build Skills. The Global Change Senior Seminar will place the Fellows’ research in a broader context and build skills in leadership and policy engagement.
