ABOUT THE HAUB SCHOOL OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES:
The Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources advances the understanding and resolution of complex natural resource challenges through interdisciplinary education, creation, and dissemination of new information and understanding, and collaborative decision-making.
When the Haub School was established in 1993, it was envisioned as a gathering place. It was meant to be an interdisciplinary hub for scholars and researchers from far-flung fields to tackle cross-cutting environmental issues. It was conceived of as a center for collaboration, where people in conflict over natural resource decisions could come together to better understand each other and the problem at hand. And from the start, it was a community of people who recognized the complexity of environment and natural resource challenges and believed in the power of working together, within and beyond the University, to craft sound and durable solutions.
Thirty years later, everything imagined has come to fruition. The school's curricula emphasize collaborative and interdisciplinary approaches that prepare students to become thoughtful future leaders and problem-solvers in environment and natural resources fields. Students learn in the classroom, in real-world enterprises, in the outstanding natural outdoor laboratory that is Wyoming, online, and overseas via the Haub School's international field courses. The Haub School has a strong community-based culture and has recently experienced unprecedented growth in students, faculty, outreach, and UW financial support. The Haub School has approximately 430 undergraduate and graduate students. The school includes 45 core faculty and staff; additional academic support is provided by professors of practice, academic professionals, and visiting scholars. The Haub School's faculty maintain active research or creative programs that address environmental and natural resources questions from both disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives.
The Haub School values interdisciplinary approaches and collaborative solutions to address complex natural resource challenges bringing together federal land management agencies, private landowners, ranchers, industry, conservation organizations, recreation groups, and other parties to address environmental and natural resource decision-making.
The Ruckelshaus Institute, a division of the Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources, supports stakeholder-driven solutions to environmental and natural resources challenges throughout the state and region through compelling science communication and by promoting collaborative decision making.

ABOUT THE HAUB SCHOOL OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES:
The Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources advances the understanding and resolution of complex natural resource challenges through interdisciplinary education, creation, and dissemination of new information and understanding, and collaborative decision-making.
When the Haub School was established in 1993, it was envisioned as a gathering place. It was meant to be an interdisciplinary hub for scholars and researchers from far-flung fields to tackle cross-cutting environmental issues. It was conceived of as a center for collaboration, where people in conflict over natural resource decisions could come together to better understand each other and the problem at hand. And from the start, it was a community of people who recognized the complexity of environment and natural resource challenges and believed in the power of working together, within and beyond the University, to craft sound and durable solutions.
Thirty years later, everything imagined has come to fruition. The school's curricula emphasize collaborative and interdisciplinary approaches that prepare students to become thoughtful future leaders and problem-solvers in environment and natural resources fields. Students learn in the classroom, in real-world enterprises, in the outstanding natural outdoor laboratory that is Wyoming, online, and overseas via the Haub School's international field courses. The Haub School has a strong community-based culture and has recently experienced unprecedented growth in students, faculty, outreach, and UW financial support. The Haub School has approximately 430 undergraduate and graduate students. The school includes 45 core faculty and staff; additional academic support is provided by professors of practice, academic professionals, and visiting scholars. The Haub School's faculty maintain active research or creative programs that address environmental and natural resources questions from both disciplinary and interdisciplinary perspectives.
The Haub School values interdisciplinary approaches and collaborative solutions to address complex natural resource challenges bringing together federal land management agencies, private landowners, ranchers, industry, conservation organizations, recreation groups, and other parties to address environmental and natural resource decision-making.
The Ruckelshaus Institute, a division of the Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources, supports stakeholder-driven solutions to environmental and natural resources challenges throughout the state and region through compelling science communication and by promoting collaborative decision making.
