The purpose of this seminar is to introduce students to the mission of Nelson Institute through an informal seminar setting. The mission
of the Gaylord Nelson Institute for Environmental Studies is to promote understanding of the environment and to define and solve
environmental problems and issues through leadership in interdisciplinary instruction, research, and outreach at all levels, from campus to
global. Promoting the understanding of the environment requires knowledge of both biogeochemical processes and the functioning of human
institutions. Hence, the interdisciplinary emphasis and focus within the Nelson Institute.
