Max Boykoff Selected as 2013 Leopold Leadership Fellow

January 31, 2013

Maxwell Boykoff has been selected as one of 20 Leopold Leadership Fellows for 2013. The Leopold Leadership Program, located at the Stanford Woods Institute for the Environment at Stanford University, was founded in 1998 to fill a critical gap in environmental decision-making: getting the best scientific knowledge into the hands of government, nonprofit, and business leaders and the public to further the development of sustainable policies and practices.

Dr. Boykoff is among the 20 mid-career academic environmental researchers named as fellows this year. The group was selected through a highly competitive process on the basis of their exceptional scientific qualifications, demonstrated leadership ability, and strong interest in sharing their knowledge beyond traditional academic audiences. The fellows will take part in intensive leadership and communications training designed to hone their skills in engaging with decision-makers, media, and the public. They also become part of a network of past fellows and program advisors who are working with leaders, both within and outside academe, to solve society’s most pressing environmental and sustainability challenges.

Previous Leopold Leadership Fellows at the University of Colorado include Dr. Alan Townsend, Dr. Sharon Collinge, and Dr. Anne Chin. For more information about the Leopold Leadership Program, please click here.
