The purpose of the Association for Environmental Studies and Sciences (AESS) is to serve the faculty, students and staff of the 1000+ interdisciplinary "environmental" programs in North America and around the world. We seek to strengthen teaching, research and service in environmental studies and sciences, and to improve communication across boundaries that too often divide the traditional academic disciplines -- the physical, biological, and social sciences, and the humanities -- that need to be brought to bear in understanding and dealing with environmental problems and solutions. The association works to support the professional development of Association members not just as individuals but also to advance Environmental Studies and Sciences as a whole.

AESS Constitution, Bylaws, receive unanimous approval!
The votes are now in on the initial Constitution/Bylaws for AESS, and every single one was a "yes." Now we need to revise the initial documents to transform them for longer-term purposes. A committee will be offering a package of suggested revisions to the larger AESS membership at the Madison meeting in Oct., 2009. To review the initial Constitution and Bylaws, click one of the two file formats to download: AESS Initial Constitution & Bylaws 8.22.08.DOC or AESS Initial Constitution & Bylaws 8.22.08.PDF
