Making It Personal
From investigating nuclear waste disposal methods to discovering the role inequality plays in sustainability efforts, Dan Sherman’s research interests seem wide-reaching, but his work always comes back to people. As a professor of environmental policy and decision making, Sherman is focused on how policies affect the people living on this planet, including his students. His newest textbook, Environmental Science & Sustainability, was published last fall and specifically addresses how students can envision their role in the environment and the policies surrounding it.

Don't Leave Home Without It
Masks are required. If you’re on campus, put on your mask—in all outdoor spaces and indoor public spaces, in labs and classrooms (even if you're teaching or behind a screen), in offices and work spaces currently or frequently occupied by more than one person. Exceptions? Inside your room with the door closed, in a private office when you’re alone with the door closed, and while you’re eating or drinking. Be safe, Loggers!

Watch this spot in The Hatchet for more tips and reminders about COVID-19 protocols on campus this spring.
