Current Projects and Interests

To those of you who are becoming readers of my blog, I feel that we are still in the introductory phase. I would like to update you on some of my work. I am currently in the process of doing the following:
1. Completing my undergraduate career. Courses on-campus include: Government and The Environment, Environmental Ideas and Policy, Natural Resources Administrative Law, Environmental Law and Policy, and Technology, Politics, and the Environment. I am taking several online courses (mostly general education requirements) including American History, Humanities, and Western Civilization. This spring I will be enrolled in Negotiation: Theory and Practice and a graduate economics course.
2. Working on a new venture related to shareholder activism and corporate responsibility. I am contacting individuals and organizations who I feel would be beneficial to the implementation of my project.
3. Preparing to attend (and present at) the EPA Community Involvement Conference. For more information regarding the conference please visit: http://www.epa.gov/ciconference/
4. Organizing an Environmental "Think-Tank" for the incoming cohort of Maxwell School graduate students and other interested parties in the Syracuse area. I expect that we will meet once a week beginning in July. I expect we will discuss possible solutions to environmental problems instead of discussing the problems in which we are already well-versed. If you are located in the Syracuse area and wish to become part of this group or present to our group, please feel free to contact me at cwnolan@syr.edu.

My interests generally include politics, domestic and international environmental policy, energy and climate change policies, grassroots activism, the greening of corporate America, and others.
