The Governor’s Energy & Environment Fellowship seeks to develop the next generation of energy & environment leaders in Colorado, reflecting academic and geographic diversity, who can be empowered through experiential learning to impact positive change across sectors. The Governor’s Energy & Environment Fellowship offers placement with designated mentor-supervisor and participation in a cabinet-level working group. Fellows will work on substantive daily assignments and meaningful long-term projects and will complete a final capstone project deliverable to Executive Leadership as a collaborative effort with the fellowship cohort. | |

CSTPR 2017 Annual Report is Released |
|
 |
|
The annual report includes CSTPR highlights from 2017 as well as a complete list of activities. Also included are selected activities of CSTPR faculty affiliates as an indication (not exhaustive accounting) of what those affiliates engage in. In 2017, we were pleased to celebrate our 15th anniversary against the backdrop of our parent institution’s 50th anniversary (the Cooperative Institute for Research in Environmental Sciences) here at CU Boulder. Throughout our celebrations and reflections on our accomplishments in this ‘quinceañera’ year, we also contemplate our ongoing ambitions going forward as a Center. Amid the dynamism of contemporary science and technology policy activities in the US and around the world, we remain steadfast in our mission to improve how science and technology policies address societal needs through research, education and service. Today we are a Center that draws strength through our commitments to non-partisan and inclusive engagement with diverse and varied perspectives. This annual report contains many highlights emerging from robust collaborations, projects and partnerships. To me, these are indications of the great community of people –core faculty and affiliates, staff, visitors, postdocs, graduate and undergraduate students – here in CSTPR. |
