About Us
The Institute of Environmental Research and Education (IERE) is housed in Academic and Student Affairs and serves students and faculty from all six UNF colleges. All IERE programs and scholarships are 100% funded by donors and grants.
With a focus on environmental research and education, our mission is to provide opportunities in these areas and develop interdisciplinary programs that enhance the student experience.
Student Success
Student success is at the heart of everything we do. Therefore, our top priority is to offer programs that develop environmental leadership skills, provide real-world experience and prepare students for success after graduation, whether on the job or in graduate school.
How your Donations Make a Difference
Your gifts of any size will support the student experience for two of our keynote programs. First, funds will go toward helping our students in the newly revamped Environmental Leadership Program that provides environmental training, networking and a scholarship for students working with community partners to solve real-world environmental issues.
Why Your Support is Important
In addition, funds will go toward our students in the new Florida Field School. This field school will connect our students with environmental professionals to learn hands-on knowledge and skills that will prepare and excite the students for environmental employment or graduate school.
