Mission Statement

All international components of the College of Natural Resources, including the International Resource Management minor, the Peace Corps Master's International Program, and several travel-study programs abroad contribute to the "internationalization" of students, faculty, and staff by:

• Promoting awareness and knowledge of environmental issues of global concern, especially in the context of sustainable natural resource management.

• Promoting awareness and understanding of global ecosystems and human interactions with those ecosystems.

• Enhancing interest in foreign languages and appreciation of cultural diversity.

• Preparing for volunteer and employment opportunities abroad.
