MPA-ESP Fall 2024 Midterm Briefing

The Master of Public Administration in Environmental Science and Policy invites you to attend the Fall 2024 Midterm Workshop Briefings. During the Final Briefings, students will present their culminating output for ENVP U9229 The Workshop in Applied Earth Systems Management II. Students enroll in small, faculty-advised project teams. Each Workshop faculty member selects a piece of proposed, but not yet enacted, state, federal, or local environmental law (or a U.N. resolution), and students are asked to develop a plan for implementing and managing the new program. In the fall semester, the Workshop completes the operational plan for implementing the program.

Midterm projects include:

• H.R. 5216: Connecticut River Watershed Partnership Act  
• Composting Organic Waste at State and Municipal Buildings in New York Bill (A02467 Art 27 Title 34 §27-3401)
