Our Vision for a Sustainable Environmental Future
Vision for a Sustainable Environmental Future (VSEF) is an initiative housed at the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability (UM SEAS) that seeks to foster the development of an environmental field that is diverse, equitable, and inclusive. To support this goal, we conduct research, gather data, and author publications on environmental history, environmental justice, institutional diversity, and food insecurity. We are active participants in efforts to identify, train, and help talented and diverse young leaders embark on careers in the environmental sector. We administer an undergraduate and a graduate diversity pathway internship program, organize the annual New Horizons in Conservation Conference and manage the Food Access in Michigan project.
