How students and alumni describe the ENRP program:

"The professors administering the program also seem genuinely enthusiastic about the program and its students, which I really like."  –Current ENRP Student

"I was able to meet some wonderful classmates that shared my enthusiasm for the environment."  –ENRP Graduate, ‘08

"The small size of the program allows for an easier sharing of ideas and more interaction with the whole group of students, and also gives the advisors/professors involved in the program an opportunity to know each student's path through the program." –Current ENRP Student
