 | The Center for Ethics and Human Values is proud to announce a new program called ETHOS – Ethics Throughout Ohio State – that highlights the ethical motivations and challenges that underlie much of the cutting edge research being done at The Ohio State University, with the aim of showing how scholars across many disciplines are helping to improve the life of our community. We are honored to have as our first subject Professor Rattan Lal, Distinguished University Professor of Soil Science and Director of Ohio State’s Carbon Management and Sequestration Center (https://senr.osu.edu/our-people/rattan-lal). Professor Lal has received numerous international awards for showing how understanding soil is crucial to promoting a healthier environment and more sustainable agriculture.

 | EPN Director Joe Campbell gives overviews of upcoming EPN programs, recaps what was learned at the summer programs, and introduces some exciting changes for EPN. |
 | Environment, Economy, Development and Sustainability (EEDS) major Sarah Fischer discusses why internships have helped her on her career path. |
 | Ohio Sea Grant's Stone Laboratory is host to a variety of professional development workshops each year, including one that covers the fish sampling techniques used by the Ohio Division of Wildlife and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency. Those seeking internships or positions as technicians in either organization learn -- and practice -- the exact skills they'll need, and the agencies benefit by having a better trained workforce. Listen as Eugene Braig explains how students learn outside of the classroom.

 | The Environment, Economy, Development and Sustainability (EEDS) major at The Ohio State University prepares students to solve society's current and future sustainability challenges in part through a senior capstone class that involves in-depth, real-world projects related to sustainability. These projects require active collaboration with university, public, and private sector partners, and challenge students to apply all that they have learned. The EEDS capstone has partnered with the City of Columbus Mayor's Green Team to implement the City's sustainability strategic plan, with The Ohio State University Office of Energy and Environment to implement the university's sustainability goals, with the City of Worthington to advance its sustainability initiatives, and with the recently launched Smart Columbus project--that involves more than $415 million of public and private support--to transform transportation systems and infrastructure to make Columbus a leading Smart City. Moving forward, a combination of sustainability, business, environmental economics and policy, natural resource management, environmental science, architecture and design, and engineering classes will continue to build this "living laboratory" model to provide students with integrative capstone experiences to culminate their undergraduate work and prepare them for the next steps of their careers. The EEDS program is a joint major between the Department of Agricultural, Environmental, and Development Economics (AEDE https://aede.osu.edu/) and the School of Environment and Natural Resources (SENR https://senr.osu.edu/) in the College of Food, Agricultural, and Environmental Sciences. The EEDS Capstone projects were presented at the Environmental Professionals Network Breakfast on April 18, 2017. The breakfast program, “Columbus, One Smart and Sustainable City – Using Innovative Technology to Improve People’s Access to Opportunity” can be viewed here (http://go.osu.edu/april2017EPN) Spring 2017 EEDS Capstone Instructors: Dr. Greg Hitzhusen and Dr. Abdoul Sam |
 | Undergraduate researcher, Ashlee Balcerzak changed her major. A class at Stone Lab helped her realized the importance of water quality and ecosystem issues we face. As a result of that class she changed her major to Environmental Science specializing in water science with Dr. Steven Lower. She presented Use of Magnetic Bacteria to Remove Phosphorus from Eutropic Waters at the 2017 Denman Undergraduate Research Forum. This video tells more about her research and the passion she has in helping others through her science. |
