William D. Ruckelshaus Institute of Environment and Natural Resources
Harold Bergman, Director
(307) 766-5080
In the summer of 2002, the University of Wyoming Board of Trustees named the Institute of Environment and Natural Resources after William D. Ruckelshaus. Mr. Ruckelshaus, who was the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency administrator under Presidents Nixon and Reagan, served as institute board chairman from the institute’s inception in 1994 until 2000. His leadership has guided the development of the institute as a forum for meaningful discussions on environmental and natural resource issues of concern to the state, the region, and the nation.
The William D. Ruckelshaus Institute of Environment and Natural Resources represents a partnership among UW faculty and students, a prominent advisory board of leaders in the field of environment and natural resources, and the aspirations of a land-grant university. The institute’s mission is to advance effective decision-making on environmental and natural resource issues by promoting and assisting collaborative informed approaches that sustain both the economy and the environment. The institute strives to empower citizens and communities with accurate and unbiased scientific, technical, and socioeconomic information that can assist in formulating effective, collaborative solutions to complex environmental and natural resource issues.
The Ruckelshaus Institute is joined with the Helga Otto Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources at the University of Wyoming, and together the institute and school comprise the Environment and Natural Resources program at UW. The Ruckelshaus Institute and Haub School work in tandem, with the institute focusing on research and outreach, and the school offering courses and degrees for undergraduates, graduate students, and mid-career professionals.
