Environmental Management Certificate Program

Community Partners

Environmental Management students complete team-based Keystone Projects in cooperation with community partners. By hosting and working with Keystone teams, community partners have an opportunity to work with exceptional graduate students from the University of Washington. Keystone teams offer community partners a wealth of practical skills and expertise; at the same time, our students gain valuable experience in applying academic research to real-world issues.

Through Keystone Projects, we seek to provide opportunities for students to solve real-world problems and concerns of the local community. We strive to develop long-term partnerships with Keystone partners that will not only make a difference in the region, but also push University researchers to further their own knowledge. In this way, the keystone projects offer an exceptional educational experience and help shape University research agendas to further addresses community needs.
