Institute for Environmental Education The Institute for Environmental Education (IEE) is an organization of Santa Rosa Junior College faculty and sta who share a concern for and an interest in environmental issues. The institute is committed to environmental education and is open to a variety of perspectives on environmental issues. It is founded on the principle that the perspectives and insights of various disciplines in the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities are essential in understanding environmental issues and in solving environmental problems. Organized by SRJC faculty and sta in 1994, the IEE provides a forum for education, dialogue, debate, and problem solving concerning environmental issues and quandaries. A committee of IEE members (the IEE Committee) coordinates the environmental program at SRJC. It serves as a liaison between various environmental committees, including the Environmental Major Committee, the Global Environmental General Education Committee, the Environmental Scholarship Committee, the Environmental Forum Committee, and the Campus Environmental Practices Committee. The IEE supports the development of courses that emphasize environmental issues, sponsors education programs and sta development activities for faculty and sta and awards scholarships to students in Environmental Studies. The institute also sponsors the Environmental Forum, a series of lectures in which prominent environmental scholars, policymakers, businesspersons, and activists share their insights and experiences with the SRJC community. Students, sta , and faculty are all welcome. The IEE also works to promote environmentally sound practices on the Santa Rosa and Petaluma campuses.
