Who We Are

The Program in Ecology is administered by a Director and an Administrative Assistant, with the assistance and advisement of 28 Faculty members and several affiliates. As of Fall 2007 we have 18 students enrolled in the program. The Director is advised by a Steering Committee for Program staffing, faculty admissions, and policy, and by a Graduate Affairs Committee for graduate admissions and policy. The Program has 20 doctoral students enrolled as it enters its third year in September 2007. The Director also receives advice from an Advisory Committee, comprising heads and deans of participating departments and colleges, respectively, and by an External Advisory Panel, comprising prominent ecologists from other institutions who meet annually on campus to review the program.
