The core component of the Beahrs ELP is an intensive summer certificate course in Sustainable Environmental Management at the Berkeley campus. Participants in the summer course will continue their learning as members of an Alumni Network with an active website, newsletter, and exchange opportunities for alumni, their institutions and UC Berkeley. With the guidance and support of the Network, the Beahrs ELP plans to establish a small number of Satellite Centers in the home countries of course participants. The Program will also sponsor an annual International Environmental Conference and an International Fellowship Program at the Center for Sustainable Resource Development. Field trips will allow participants to experience the ways and means that California is handling some of its major environmental management problems.
Participants are responsible for making their own travel arrange-ments.
