Dear
students, alumni, and other interested readers, welcome!
In the last issue of Environmental Science Report I expressed
hope that we would hear from our alumni to report on their careers
and accomplishments. We did. This issue is mostly devoted to their
stories and we intend to add many more in future issues.
Our
MSES alumni are contributing to the improvement of our environment
by pursuing careers in both the public and private sector. They
do so by performing studies, providing technical advise and leadership,
and periodically publishing or presenting at conferences. Susan
Glassmeyer, currently a research chemist at a US EPA lab in Cincinnati,
published a philosophical article in Chemical and Engineering
News (March 2001) on maintaining ecosystem balance. Mark Pfister
received a Technical Merit Award from the North American Lake
Management Society last year for completing a successful lake
restoration project. Both Anne Timm and Rob Earle write about
their fulfilling careers in the private sector, while Katie Malinowski
is equally enthusiastic about her career at a regional state agency
in New York. Tim McDaniel, who works for a private firm, published
a lead article in Pollution Engineering (December 2001) on reducing
lead in the manufacturing processes.
It is
gratifying to hear from our alumni and find them doing well in their
careers. They often write about their SPEA training and how it helps
them to provide technical leadership in the complex and multidisciplinary
field of environmental science. Please share your post-MSES study
and work experiences with us. We’d like to include your stories
in future issues of the Environmental Science Report. You may send
a letter to the editor, or an email message to Bill
Jones.
Best
wishes,
Henk Haitjema
Chair, Environmental Science and Policy Faculty (ESAP)
