Five Ford School students have been awarded 2017 Dow Sustainability Fellowships, out of 40 selected students from 12 U-M schools and colleges.
The Dow Sustainability Fellowship supports graduate students who are "committed to finding interdisciplinary, actionable, and meaningful sustainability solutions on local-to-global scales." Fellows receive a stipend, and attend seminars with leading sustainability practitioners, participate in collaborative engagements, and co-author white papers in interdisciplinary teams. This year's fellows have a wide range of interests, from climate science to law, business, and public policy.
