We are faculty, we are students, we are staff.  We are parents, partners, citizens, thinkers, do-ers and visionaries…

While not everyone who is a part of the EE Caucus devotes their academic study to environmental or ecological education, the individuals listed below have an interest in furthering EE in the Faculty of Education at UBC.  Names are ordered alphabetically, and we have tried to include contact information and major area of study for each person.
