Betsy McDonald Llanwarne (UEP '14) was a beloved UEP student and a passionate advocate for clean energy and environmental justice. To honor her legacy, this endowed fund will support the research and professional development of future change agents like Betsy.

UEPer shares her experience balancing diverse experiences in two summer internships.

UEP welcomed eight new students into its mid-career Master of Public Policy program in Fall 2021. These students bring at least 7 years of relevant professional experience into the program and help enrich learning for all in the UEP community.

On the UEPodcast, you'll hear interviews with faculty members, current students, and alumni, profiles of various courses and projects going on within the department, and inside looks at clubs, classes, and internships. This podcast is going to be co-created with the UEP community – and that means anyone can make an episode! We hope you’ll join us – as a listener and as a producer!
