    Dr. Evan DeLucia, Director of iSEE, sent Meredith Moore the following email:

    Good morning, Meredith

Both recommendations, the Environmental Leadership Program and Student Sustainability Ambassadors are creative, will provide students with new opportunities to engage in sustainability learning, and will have a positive impact on our iCAP goals.
