The��Environmental Studies department��is designed to educate the leaders, scientists, teachers, and informed citizens who will create a sustainable future for our environment and ourselves in the 21st century. It offers a broad, but rigorous, interdisciplinary education for both undergraduate and graduate students, drawing on courses and expertise from more than thirty departments, centers, and other units on campus emphasizing the earth and natural sciences as well as the social sciences and humanities. Students can also take advantage of many opportunities for less-formal "real-world" learning, including internships for class credit.

Memorial Statement.

From a young age, Joey Herrin cultivated a love of nature while hiking, camping, rock climbing and biking in Texas. After high school, he traveled across the country, visiting over 40 national parks and working at farms, parks and outdoor ventures, also attending a semester with NOLS in Patagonia. He landed in Colorado and started college at the age of 28, while working park maintenance at a local park system. His stewardship extended beyond the environment to his friendships, relationships and pets and he was known for his acts of kindness.

Attending CU Boulder was a high point, as he immersed himself in learning as much as he could, both in and out of the classroom. As he enrolled during the pandemic, he was delighted when he finally got to attend in-person and meet his professors. When he first enrolled in college, he told us that he just wanted to make a difference. And so he did. The purpose of this scholarship is to always “make a difference”, for the environment and for students like Joey.��

This scholarship will be used to provide undergraduate scholarship awards for students enrolled in the Department of Environmental Studies��in the College of Arts and Sciences at the ��������. Preference will be given to non-traditional students.��
