Building environmental literacy and leadership through interdisciplinary, place-based education

Juliann Krupa is an environmental educator and academic project manager at The School for Field Studies, an educational institution that offers transformative study abroad experiences through field-based learning and research. She collaborates with faculty around the world to develop interdisciplinary curricula for undergraduate field research programs that explore the ecological and social dimensions of complex environmental problems. Throughout her career designing conservation programs integrating science, policy, and education, Juliann has experienced the power of cross-sector collaboration to drive more efficient and effective decision-making on pressing issues.
