Energy and Environment
The Voinovich School, through the Appalachian Watershed Research Group, the Consortium for Energy, Economics and the Environment (CE3), the Center for Air Quality, and the Environmental Studies program, has established itself as a leader in bringing people together to solve energy and environmental problems.
Environmental projects have long been a hallmark of the Voinovich School. The school has over a decade of experience in working with faculty and staff from across Ohio University, local watershed groups, the Ohio Department of Natural Resources (ODNR), and with other local, state, and federal agencies on restoration of rivers and streams which have been polluted by the many abandoned coal mines in southeast Ohio.
Today, the Voinovich School continues its watershed work while also providing leadership through CE3 on issues related to energy, environmental health and economic growth.
In addition, the school is the home of Ohio University’s Environmental Studies program, which offers an innovative, interdisciplinary masters program and undergraduate certificate, and promotes environmental education throughout the curriculum.
