Welcome to the Zilkha Center for the Environment
Effective July 1, 2024, the Zilkha Center for Environmental Initiatives and the Center for Environmental Studies have merged to form the new Zilkha Center for the Environment, while the Environmental Studies Program continues as a stand-alone interdisciplinary academic program and serves as the home of the environmental studies curriculum and associated major and concentrations. You can read more about the changes here. Thank you for your patience as we work to update and integrate our webpages.
Zilkha Center for the Environment (ZCE) oversees campus sustainability efforts, manages Hopkins Memorial Forest in partnership with a committee of researchers and other stakeholders, offers time-honored co-curricular initiatives such as the student summer grant program, Log Lunch, and Maple Fest, and is the administrative home of the Environmental Justice Clinic.
We invite you to dive deeper into our areas of work...
Campus sustainability is everyone’s job and the Zilkha Center for the Environment supports and keeps the work moving forward and aligned with the college's broader strategic goals. We place a lot of emphasis on engaging students in this work and—through our co-curricular programs and management of the Hopkins Memorial Forest—extend the opportunities for experiential learning, applied research and community engagement beyond our campus borders.
For academic courses on environmental and sustainability issues, the environmental studies major and concentrations, and senior thesis, please contact the Environmental Studies Program.
