Dear HUCE Faculty,
As the new semester begins, and you start meeting with your students, I’m sending a quick reminder about the Secondary Field in Energy and Environment (E&E). Hosted by the Environmental Science and Public Policy concentration, in coordination with HUCE and our faculty community, the E&E secondary field offers undergrads the opportunity to learn about the interdisciplinary issues related to energy and environment while maintaining their focus in their home concentrations. Since its launch last year, the E&E secondary field has attracted a wide variety of students – with more than half of those enrolled coming from the social sciences and humanities.
Students are required to take four half-courses: a foundational E&E course, with content related to both energy and environment, and then at least three additional upper-level courses divided between Social Sciences/Humanities and Natural Sciences/Engineering categories. More information can be found here:

We ask current juniors to declare their intent by study card day this semester – that’s Friday, January 29th.
I’ve attached a flyer to share with your students. Eric Simms, HUCE Educational Programs Manager (esimms@fas.harvard.edu), is administering the program with ESPP and is available for questions --- he is returning to the office tomorrow (Wednesday) after a parental leave.
Best,
Jim
