About

Washington, D.C.-area employers need workers with green skills to prepare the region for extreme weather, natural disasters, pandemics, longer allergy seasons, and other climate-related challenges. Neighborhoods, cities, states, and nations increasingly depend on advanced research, analysis, and management to prepare communities for unforeseeable climate changes.

Northeastern University’s College of Social Sciences and Humanities (CSSH) offers experiential learning through advanced degree and certificate programs that use real-world problems and hands-on experience to equip professionals with green skills for building climate resilience and sustainability.

Join us on May 10, 2023, at our regional campus in Arlington, to learn how partnering with CSSH and the Policy School can help your workforce get experiential opportunities for building skills in climate resilience and making a positive impact in our region, nation, and world.

The discussion will be led by:

  • Maria Ivanova, Director and Professor, School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs (Policy School), Northeastern University, College of Social Sciences and Humanities
  • Michelle Wyman, Executive Director, Thomas Lovejoy Amazon Biodiversity Center; Member, Policy School Advisory Committee, Northeastern University, College of Social Sciences and Humanities
  • Stephen Flynn, Director and Professor, Global Resilience Institute, Northeastern University, College of Social Sciences and Humanities
  • Tracy Corley, Director of CSSH Programs in Arlington and Professor of the Practice in Public Policy and Urban Affairs, Northeastern University, College of Social Sciences and Humanities

To reserve your seat for this critical conversation on partnering for climate resilience, register by May 1, 2023.
