Ryse Roth an Evergreen Alum and co-founder of Climate Solutions, has partnered with the college to act as Director of the Center for Sustainable Infrastructure.

This center will act as a research facility as well as a clearinghouse of ideas for best practices in developing better and more efficient infrastructure.  Tribes, agencies, utilities and MPA graduate student researchers will all have the chance to be a part of this ground breaking movement towards innovative and sustainable development.

The center was awarded a $20,000 grant from the Pacific Northwest-based Bullitt Foundation, which supports sustainable development in the region, to help with the initial launch of the center.
