Spring 2008 Commentary: GEM’s Practical Facets

March 2008 marks eight years of GEM’s existence. We have hewn many practical facets in GEM programming to pioneer and apply practical learning methods and technology to solve natural resource problems by linking faculty, students and citizens worldwide through efforts in sustainability, leadership development, and international programming. We are celebrating this first decade knowing that the 21st Century—the Environmental Century—is dawning and people everywhere are awakening to embrace change needed for a sustainable future.
