About
The Earth & Environment Department Fund supports transformative, hands-on learning experiences for Boston University students. With 76 unique courses, 35 world-class faculty members, and over 1,000 students from across the entire university enrolling in our courses each semester, the department is dedicated to exploring critical environmental challenges through education and research. Donations to this fund make it possible for students to participate in:
- Field trips to locations like Cape Cod, Arnold Arboretum, Deer Island, Harvard Forest, and beyond.
- Fieldwork opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students.
- Senior theses, allowing students to pursue independent, in-depth research projects.
These experiences connect classroom learning with real-world applications, equipping students with the knowledge and skills needed to address environmental challenges and build a more sustainable future.
Why Donate?
The Department of Earth & Environment is Boston University’s epicenter for understanding and addressing the critical environmental challenges facing our planet. Your gift ensures that students can examine ecosystems – from coastal to glacial to urban – in person, not just through a textbook. These experiential learning opportunities are essential for developing the skills and perspective needed to tackle environmental challenges and foster a deeper understanding of our planet. Students learn best when they can see, touch, and experience what they’re studying, and your donation will help create meaningful opportunities for discovery and growth.
