Virginia Tech's Executive Masters of Natural Resources (XMNR) program in Leadership for Sustainability is currently accepting applications for the next cohort to begin in January 2012. The XMNR program is offered through the College of Natural Resources and Environment in the National Capital Region, located in Falls Church, VA. Designed to accommodate the needs and constraints of working professionals, the XMNR is an accelerated, non-residential degree program that meets one weekend per month for 18-months. The curriculum was developed to equip students with critical thinking, communication, and creative problem solving skills for working across sectors, disciplines, and cultures to address the complex issues involved in building a more sustainable society and future. All aspects of the program including coursework, guest lecturers, group projects, the international residency, and capstone projects are designed to bring about institutional and policy change as well as personal and cultural transformation.
To learn more about the XMNR program, please visit the website at http://cnre.vt.edu/xmnr/. Enrollment for the next session beginning in January 2012 is underway and is already half full. The cohort would certainly benefit from more ecological perspectives, so please pass this along to anyone you think might be interested. Thank you and please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions.
