Evans Chair of Eisenhower Leadership Studies, has a bone to pick with undergraduate public policy programs. “What bothers me about most programs is that they have no true academic content, and their students invariably play a passive role as spectators at talks.”

But take the eleven students who found themselves not only immersed in environmental policy—but also in the Bullets Pool. Besides months of classroom sessions on public policy issues and their individual research projects, the group took scuba training to prepare for their spring break assignment: to conduct the first- ever sustainability study on the Caribbean island of Bonaire.

The Environmental Leadership Program (ELP) is one of five Expert-in-Residence programs at Gettysburg College’s Eisenhower Institute. Now in its fourth year, the ELP is led by Dr. Howard Ernst, Seiden-Levi Fellow of Public Policy, senior scholar at the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics, political science professor at the United States Naval Academy, and widely-published expert on environmental policy and politics.
