According to Dr. Sponarski, she\u00a0“joined EES as affiliated faculty because of the flexibility the program provides its students to build their own curriculum. In a world that requires young professionals to be able to adapt and be interdisciplinary, this program allows students to expand their knowledge and experience base, work with students across disciplines and gain exposure to different forms of knowledge.\u201d\u00a0Currently there are over 80\u00a0faculty<\/span>\u00a0participating from over 16 units on campus and over 60 graduate students enrolled. Over the last five years, one fifth of the PhD students from NSFA graduated with an\u00a0EES<\/span>\u00a0degree.\u00a0 Being an\u00a0EES<\/span>\u00a0faculty<\/span>\u00a0member allows faculty to advise graduate students in our MS and PhD programs, teach graduate and undergraduate courses, recruit\u00a0EES<\/span>\u00a0honors students to their labs, and allows their graduate students to apply for\u00a0EES<\/span>\u00a0fellowships and awards.<\/p>\n
