What is a Pathway?

Students facilitating a workshop as a part of the Building Community Capacity course. MENV now offers a Stakeholder Engagement & Facilitation Pathway (SEFP). A stakeholder is any individual, group, or organization that has an interest in an issue, is affected by the issue, and/or can influence the outcome of the issue in some way. Given the reach of sustainability challenges across environmental, social, and economic sectors alike, careers in sustainability will inherently require individuals who can identify, engage, and collaborate with many diverse groups and organizations. The goal of the SEFP is to learn how to identify key stakeholders and facilitate their collaborative engagement across various projects.

Students are not required to take all courses within the SEFP. Rather, they are welcome to choose those classes that are most relevant to them, so long as they take at least one Foundational Theory course and one Practice & Skills course. Four courses in total (12 credits) must be taken from the听list below to complete the SEFP. To learn more about the SEFP, please feel free to reach out to the MENV Admissions team at听MENVAdmissions@colorado.edu.听
