Welcome to the School of the Environment! In the FAMU SoE, we offer a variety of innovative and exciting programs designed to inspire and lead the way in environmental education and research.

The Power of the Black Vote: Tackling Our Climate Crisis

Trymaine Lee, a correspondent for MSNBC and Podcast host of Into America, broadcasted live from FAMU's campus on October 7, 2022. He joined the School of the Environment Rattler Moji research team to learn how their work out on the water has influenced how they think about climate change and how that could impact their vote in the November midterm election. The School of the Environment has a long history of environmental stewardship and leading environmental causes!
