Scripps Howard Institute on the Environment
Florida Atlantic University

Print, broadcast, Web and multimedia journalists were immersed in the “environment” during the weeklong Scripps Howard Foundation Institute on the Environment held in 2007 at Florida Atlantic University’s School of Communication and Multimedia Studies. Headed by environment reporter-turned professor Neil Santaniello, the institute took reporters on a trek through Everglades National Park; snorkeling in Biscayne Bay; to the Smithsonian Marine Station at Fort Pierce; to the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge to examine water quality and invasive species; to a sugar farm to hear a grower's perspective; to Juno Scrub and Frenchman's Forest and more for a close-up look at environmental impacts and wildlife habitats first hand. Along the way, they were exposed to 50-plus expert speakers with a broad range of backgrounds.

The program is designed to give reporters who cover the environment continuing education in the classroom and through field trips. Visit www.ces.fau.edu/scripps for photos and stories of the 2007 institute and the 2006 inaugural institute.

For information about applying for the May 12-17, 2008 program, contact Neil Santaniello, FAU journalism instructor at 561-799-8047, nsantane@fau.edu or www.ces.fau.edu/scripps. Deadline to apply is March 15, 2008.
