INSTITUTE OF ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH AND EDUCATION
The Institute of Environmental Research and Education (IERE) is an interdisciplinary hub that unites students and faculty from all six UNF colleges in a shared mission to advance environmental knowledge through interdisciplinary research, education, and community engagement. This mission is achieved by fostering interdisciplinary collaboration, providing real-world experiences, and offering innovative academic programs that enrich student learning and advance environmental research. IERE serves as a vital link between the classroom and the community—empowering students to turn knowledge into action and helping researchers connect their work to the public. Our efforts are made possible through the generous support of donors and grants, allowing us to stay focused on service, discovery, and student success.
