Sustainability, Energy, and Environment Fellows Program Minor
for the Undergraduate Minor in the Sustainability, Energy, and Environment Fellows Program
Why is true sustainability so hard to achieve? Behind every environmentally friendly practice is a web of consequences, trade-offs, feedbacks, and barriers — and this undergraduate minor administered by the Institute for Sustainability, Energy, and Environment (iSEE) will help you develop a systems-level perspective of the economic, environmental and social dimensions of sustainability to help you navigate them.
The Sustainability, Energy, and Environment Fellows Program (SEE FP) is a campuswide undergraduate minor that prepares students for pursuing careers in the corporate sector, nonprofit organizations, government agencies and environmental advocacy groups.
To find out more about the minor and the enrollment process, email Eric Green, iSEE Instructor/Advisor, at see-fellows@illinois.edu.

for the Undergraduate Minor in the Sustainability, Energy, and Environment Fellows Program
Sustainability touches many different academic disciplines all with the underpinnings of understanding environmental impacts. Through this minor, students will be able to:
1. Recall a variety of environmental impacts
2. Discuss the social and natural phenomenon that create those impacts
3. Apply their disciplinary lens when determining methodologies to study those phenomenon
4. Devise technical and social solutions to those negative environmental impacts
5. Provide those solutions in real-world contexts with external evaluation.
