The Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources (RSENR) is the University of Vermont's natural resources college. It was formerly called The School of Natural Resources. It is home to a natural resources and field study based curriculum, has its own core courses and building. There are several majors including environmental sciences, environmental studies, forestry, natural resources, recreation management and wildlife biology.
The Aiken building, which houses RSENR is currently undergoing a retrofit which will hopefully gain a LEED certification and be one of the premier green buildings in the state of Vermont. One of the other facilities belonging to the school is the Rubenstein Ecosystem Research Lab at the Burlington waterfront.
Famous quotes containing the words school, environment, natural and/or resources:
“Nevertheless, no school can work well for children if parents and teachers do not act in partnership on behalf of the children’s best interests. Parents have every right to understand what is happening to their children at school, and teachers have the responsibility to share that information without prejudicial judgment.... Such communication, which can only be in a child’s interest, is not possible without mutual trust between parent and teacher.”
—Dorothy H. Cohen (20th century)
