\"Howard<\/a>Last week, EDF announced a new alliance<\/a> with one of the nation\u2019s premier historically black institutions, Howard University of Washington, DC. The \u201cPartnership for Environmental Leadership\u201d is an initiative that aims to provide an innovative introduction and unprecedented access to environmental careers for Howard students while providing diverse and premiere academic candidates to EDF and the greater environmental community.<\/p>\n

The \u201cPartnership for Environmental Leadership\u201d is comprised of a recurring internship and graduate level fellowship for Howard students at EDF in addition to the collaborative development of sustainable curricula at the university and ongoing participation in EDF\u2019s climate corps program. EDF\u2019s Oceans program will be the first in the organization to offer a fellowship as a part of the collaboration.<\/p>\n

As an Intern with the Oceans program for the past year and a Howard University senior developing a career in environmental advocacy, I\u2019ve had the opportunity to work alongside some of the most passionate and talented professionals in the field. During this time I\u2019ve gained a deeper understanding of fisheries policy, marine science and the challenges of coastal communities, and I\u2019m even more committed to contributing my talents to developing solutions to our greatest environmental challenges.<\/p>\n

EDF\u2019s and Howard\u2019s partnership is simply one answer to the undying question, \u201cHow do we bring more communities, perspectives and ideas to the table?\u201d Congruent with EDF\u2019s other partnerships with Stanford and Princeton Universities, this joint effort with Howard continues to open the doors and develop future environmental leaders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
