Goals
Overarching Goals
- To create a new model program for graduate education centered on
team-based collaboration across traditional disciplinary boundaries
- To cultivate a new generation of watershed science and
management graduates trained in solving complex, real-world problems
Objectives
- Produce students trained in cutting-edge research in their own
field
- Produce students capable of integrating across multiple
disciplines to gain a broad view of watershed problems and solutions
- Train students in integrating science in a management and policy-making context
- Produce students intimately experienced with team-based problem
solving
- Recruit, mentor, retain and graduate watershed scientists from
under-represented groups
