Faculty & Staff

The faculty of the MS in Climate, Environment, and Health program are interdisciplinary leaders committed to tackling some of the world’s most urgent and complex challenges at the intersection of environmental change and human health. With expertise spanning global health, environmental science, governance, and systems design, they bring both academic rigor and real-world experience to the classroom. These are not sanitized issues—they are gritty, urgent, and deeply human. Our faculty embrace this complexity and prepare students to do the same, guiding them to lead with courage, empathy, and the skills to drive meaningful change for vulnerable communities around the world.
