Davenport,
Iowa, USA (April 22, 2014) -- In honor of Earth Day, Kaplan
University, a leader in higher education
innovation, launched its Environmental Policy Center news site that
captures and curates environmental policy news and trends from across
the Internet.
The
Environmental Policy Center was created under the guidance of faculty
and administrators from the environmental policy degree programs
within the Kaplan School of Social and Behavioral Sciences. It gives
readers a convenient, centralized source for daily updates on key
trending topics related to the environment. Editors sift through all
the day's news from multiple sources, placing the top stories on one
central site.
"The
expansion of the green economy is generating demand for new skills
and specialized knowledge in many business and government sectors, as
well as a thirst for knowledge on environmental policy trends and
developments," said Sara Sander, Dean and Vice President of the
Kaplan University School of Social and Behavioral Sciences. "Sound
sustainability and environmental decisions begin with a balanced
understanding of the environment and the ability to stay abreast of
the latest findings, regulations and trends. This consciousness
inspired us to create Kaplan University's Environmental Policy
Center, to help those who are interested in environmental policy scan
through relevant news from multiple sources."
The
editors of the news feed monitor content from a broad spectrum of
traditional news sources as well as individual thought leaders from
government, education, the private sector, cause-related nonprofit
organizations and even private citizens. News is organized into
sections including environmental legislation & regulations,
trends & ideas and a section that contains content written by or
featuring Kaplan faculty and leadership. To learn more, visit the
Kaplan Environmental Policy Center.
Other
special-focus Centers within Kaplan University include the Center for
Excellence in Financial Services, the Center for Public Service and
Career Moves.
