This gives individuals the opportunity to learn more about environmental research developments, job opportunities with nonprofits, and ways to live more sustainably. In addition, the former CERE program administrator, Mary Kate Ranii, hosted a webinar titled "Recycling 101: How Does Recycling Work and How does DUQ Recycle?" which was recorded and sent out to Duquesne faculty and staff via email.
