A New Dynamic Interdisciplinary Program!

    "You are brilliant and the Earth is hiring. The earth couldn't afford to send recruiters or limos to visit you. It sent you rain, sunsets, ripe cherries, night blooming jasmine, and that unbelieveably cute person you are dating...

    If you look at the science about what is happening on earth and aren't pessimistic, you don't understand the data. But if you meet the people who are working to restore this earth and the lives of the poor, and you aren't optimistic, you haven't got a pulse. What I see everywhere in the world are ordinary people willing to confront despair, power, and incalculable odds in order to restore some semblance of grace, justice, and beauty to this world. You join a multitude of caring people. Nature beckons you to be on her side. You couldn't ask for a better boss."
