The Environmental Science and Resource Management (ESRM) Program places great emphasis upon effective and elegant communication. Our ESRM faculty consider being able to communicate technical material an essential skill set. Along with proficiency in collecting, analyzing, interpreting, and presenting quantitative data both in the field and laboratory, and being able to understand the interdisciplinary context of environmental challenges, technical writing is a core skill set you must master to succeed both here at CI and after graduation. While few of us begin our journey as great writers, our ESRM curriculum is designed to develop your potential and ultimately grow you into a strong professional writer by the time you graduate.
