This summer two intensive leadership training programs are being offered for graduate students from a variety of academic fields and cultural backgrounds who are seeking to devote their professional lives to building a sustainable future. The purpose of these programs is to fill a critical gap that exists today in most academic ecology programs. Traditional curricula are imbued with scientific and economic models of environmental problems, but the larger cultural and spiritual dimensions of the ecological crisis are generally omitted. The three organizations decided to expand the work by holding two programs, one on each coast, in 1996. The pilot program was highly acclaimed by the graduate students who attended.
