Helga Otto Haub
School of Environment and Natural Resources


The problems facing those who work with the environment and natural resources are among the most difficult and complex in society. Recognizing that environmental and natural resource (ENR) issues inherently possess political, scientific, cultural, sociological, economic, and legal aspects, the Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources at the University of Wyoming seeks to transcend disciplinary boundaries and examine these complex issues from the full range of perspectives.

ENR programs are designed to allow students to specialize in a specific field while simultaneously exposing them to the thought processes of the many other disciplines that are involved with environmental and natural resource studies. Rather than offer a program that provides a basic understanding of a variety of environmental issues but no specific training in any one discipline, our program requires students to complete a major in an "affiliated discipline," which can be housed in any other department at UW, while also completing course work in interdisciplinary Haub School classes. A look into an Haub School classroom reveals students and faculty drawn from political science, botany, international studies, zoology, geology, economics, and myriad other disciplines.

The Haub School finds inspiration from the generosity and the values of its namesake, Helga Otto Haub.  In 2004, Helga and Erivan Haub endowed the School of Environment and Natural Resources, helping to make a reality, our most exciting visions for the School.  To learn more about the Haubs, please click here.
