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 Faculty Grant Recipients
This project gives our students an opportunity to look at the entire spectrum of work on climate and energy – from local to global – from designing and implementing technical, hands-on community energy systems to pushing the envelope of what is possible in global climate change agreements. And it gives them tools – borne of their collaboration with colleagues – of public communication, advocacy, and strategic planning that are necessary to make a difference.
