We ask that you share this opportunity with your master’s and/or doctoral students, and encourage them to consider applying. The application and additional information can be found on the program website <http://environment.harvard.edu/graduate-consortium>, and any questions can be directed to me. Thanks for the consideration. Best Eric ________________________________ *Eric Simms* *Educational Programs Manager * Harvard University Center for the Environment 26 Oxford St., 4th Floor, Rm. 444B 617.496.0746 <(617)%20496-0746 *From: *"Aziz, Michael J." &lt;maziz(a)harvard.edu*Date: *Friday, June 9, 2017 at 5:46 PM *To: *&quot;huce-faculty(a)lists.fas.harvard.edu&quot; &lt;huce-faculty(a)lists.fasfas. harvard.edu*Cc: *"Simms, Eric" &lt;esimms(a)fas.harvard.edu*Subject: *Grad Consortium on Energy & Environment applications due 6/26. Now accepting Master's as well as Ph.D. students Dear Colleagues, I wish to call your attention to the opportunity afforded to your graduate students by the Graduate Consortium on Energy and Environment, which is sponsored by the Harvard University Center for the Environment. The program is open to master's and doctoral students enrolled in any of Harvard's graduate schools and, so far, has enrolled over 160 students from 26 departments in 8 schools. It provides a valuable broadening experience. It requires about the equivalent of a semester of full-time study, spread out over 1-2 years, and offers fellowship support (to qualified doctoral students) to offset the time expenditure. These and other benefits are detailed below, along with the program requirements. The application deadline is Monday, June 26, 2017. A flyer is attached, and I encourage you to share it with students and colleagues in your department. *Broadening Perspectives* Through their participation in the Consortium, students have an unparalleled opportunity to actively engage with, and learn from, faculty and other students across a variety of disciplines with an interest in Energy and Environment. Engagement in courses and seminars fosters discussion and provides students with the broad perspectives needed to address the challenges associated with the science, technology and policy of energy and environmental issues. *Eligibility* To apply, students must already be enrolled in one of Harvard's graduate programs, and doctoral students must have completed their first year of study by the time they enter the program (Fall 2017). Space in the program is limited, and priority will be given to doctoral students, if necessary. Among the required materials is a letter from the advisor indicating that the advisor supports the student's application. *Requirements for Completion* - Two energy/environmental courses, consisting of one policy course and one science course: *Policy Courses* The Climate-Energy Challenge (IGA-411) - (H. Lee, J. Holdren) *Prerequisites: TBD* Energy Policy Analysis (API-164) - (J. Aldy) *Prerequisites: Multivariate calculus* Electricity Market Design (API-166) - (W. Hogan) *Prerequisites: API-102, IGA-410 or equivalent; permission of instructor* The Geopolitics of Energy (IGA-412) - (M. O'Sullivan) *Prerequisites: None; permission of instructor* *Science Courses* The Consequences of Energy Systems (E-PSCI 239) - (D. Schrag) *Prerequisites: College-level chemistry and physics; permission of instructor* Survey of Energy Technology / Energy Technology (ES 229 / ES 231) - (M. Aziz) *Prerequisites: A semester of college-level Newtonian mechanics, a semester of single-variable calculus, and chemistry at the level of a good secondary school course; permission of instructor* Some courses have limited enrollment, and most courses have academic prerequisites - students should consider the prerequisites for each course when planning their program eligibility and course of study for the program. Students can propose alternatives to the courses listed above, but are expected to take graduate-level policy and science courses that they would not normally take for their degree. In addition to coursework, students are required to attend a weekly reading and discussion seminar that meets once a week from 12:00-1:30pm during term time, through which they meet a variety of scholars in energy and environment from around the University and discuss materials that they will have read in advance. *Fellowships* Doctoral students accepted into the Consortium are eligible to apply for generous fellowship support provided by the Harvard University Center for the Environment. These funds are intended to offset the time students spend participating in the Consortium, and are awarded during the semesters in which students are actively enrolled in one or more of the required courses. *Conference Travel Funds* In keeping with the spirit of the Consortium, HUCE encourages participating students to interact with other scholars and students beyond the opportunities traditionally available in their primary field of research. Doctoral students are eligible to receive up to $1,000 for expenses related to attending conferences, workshops, or other appropriate professional activities during their time in the program.
