Mission: 

The UW-La Crosse Environmental Studies Program educates and transforms students through interdisciplinary and experiential learning. We foster student engagement with the principles of sustainability, stewardship, justice, and citizenship, from local to global levels.

Values:
• innovative approaches that enhance the integration of the natural sciences,
social sciences, arts, and humanities
• shared experiences, service learning, and field trips, which create a sense of
individual identity and group cohesion
• personal connections to local environments and cultivating a sense of place
• knowledge of and commitment to environmental stewardship, through
community partnership and shared expertise
