About Us
The Institute of Environmental Research and Education (IERE) is celebrating 20 years of environmental excellence at the University of North Florida. In celebration of our 20th anniversary, we are aiming to raise $20,000 from donor support!
With the introduction of a dynamic Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science degree and immersive programs such as Florida Field School, IERE is dedicated to fostering community-based learning and enhancing student success. The institute offers a diverse array of student programs that provide hands-on experience, professional development, and opportunities for environmental research. IERE Students benefit from the expertise of faculty and community leaders in environmental science, collectively preparing them for impactful careers in the environmental sector.
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.
