The Office of Communications promotes the work of the Yale School of the Environment, sharing stories about its innovativeness and excellence in teaching and scholarship to a wide range of audiences. We also provide a variety of services to members of the community to help them more effectively tell their own stories.

We aim to strengthen the understanding of and deepen the discourse on environmental issues, inform the public about the ways the School is contributing to achieving a more sustainable future, and encourage the integration of those issues into strategies for business, international development, government, and nongovernmental organizations.

The communications team publicizes original research by our faculty, fellows, and students through traditional and digital media.

School news, including School-sponsored events, alumni profiles, and other community updates are regularly published on YSE’s website, (https://environment.yale.edu) and distributed through our newsletter YSE 3, (https://yse.to/subscribe) and on our social media platforms, including Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/YaleEnvironment), Twitter (https://twitter.com/YaleEnvironment), Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/environmentyale), and LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/school/environmentyale).

The communications office publishes Canopy magazine in print and online, (https://environment.yale.edu/canopy), which showcases how the YSE community—including its highly engaged alumni network—is providing innovative leadership in addressing environmental challenges across the planet. It also publishes the annual report, which highlights the progress the School has made in achieving the goals defined in its Strategic Plan and the many ways the YSE community is working to address today’s urgent environmental challenges.
