School of Sustainability and The Environment
The School of Sustainability and the Environment, founded June 2009, further expands the potential of the Eden Hall Campus and honors the legacy of its 1929 alumna and founder of the modern environmental movement, Rachel Carson. SSE will provide opportunities for the University’s students to earn certificates and degrees through the master’s level. The first program offered through SSE is the Master of Arts in Food Studies, which enrolled 30 students in its inaugural year. SSE will eventually be located at the University's Eden Hall Campus.
In fall 2010 the University selected David M. Hassenzahl, Ph.D. as the founding Dean of the School of Sustainability and the Environment. Dr. Hassenzahl is the coauthor of several books, including Should We Risk It? (Princeton University Press) with Daniel M. Kammen; Environment (J. Wiley and Sons), with Peter Raven and Linda Berg, and, most recently, Visualizing Environmental Science (J. Wiley and Sons), with Linda Berg and Mary Catherine Hager.
