Landmark $15-million gift commitment from UU直播 alumnus Marc Bieler to the School of Environment will bolster environmental scholarship, research and outreach聽

Scientists grappling with complex and seemingly unresolvable issues often refer to them as 鈥渨icked problems鈥�. Arguably, some of the nastiest are those related to the deteriorating health of our environment.

Across UU直播鈥檚 faculties and disciplines, researchers, students and administrators are tackling these problems head-on, by seeking to understand 鈥� and reverse 鈥� the widespread impact that human activity is having on our planet. They have made headway through multidisciplinary research projects in a number of key areas, including climate mitigation and ridding our oceans of plastic waste.

Now, their efforts have been given a huge boost, through a landmark $15-million philanthropic investment in the UU直播 School of Environment from UU直播 alumnus and agri-food entrepreneur Marc Bieler, DipAgr鈥�58, BA鈥�64. His contribution 鈥� comprised of an initial cash commitment, as well as future support from him and his estate for the next 25 years 鈥� will ensure a long, steady stream of resources for the School that will allow it to expand interdisciplinary teaching, research and experiential learning capacity. In recognition of this extraordinary gift, the School has been renamed the Bieler School of Environment.
