About the Network
Following graduation from college, Thoreau Scholars are inducted into our alumni association – the Henry David Thoreau Society for the Environment. Whether researching whale behavior in Iceland, tracking the bushmeat crisis in sub-Saharan Africa, conducting geological studies in the Gobi Desert, crafting environmental policy in Texas, or creating urban planning designs in New York City, our alumni are orchestrating impressive research, engaging in scholarly collaboration, and shaping environmental outcomes across the globe.
As members of this lifelong association, our alumni in the Henry David Thoreau Society remain connected and keep up with their fellow Thoreau Scholars, providing opportunities for environmental networking and idea exchange among all Thoreau Scholars, past and present.
Meet Our Scholars
“The big question now is how we can reuse materials and knowledge across [energy] projects to ensure a sustainable and repeatable process. Linear supply chains and the limited existing workforce are already posing a bottleneck to physically building out the energy transition. It’s a great time to be working on circularity and productivity in the built environment.”
