UCLA Center for Diverse Leadership in Science
In an effort to find effective, innovative, and just solutions for environmental problems, UCLA established the first university-based center focused on inclusive diversity in environmental science—The UCLA Center for Diverse Leadership in Science (CDLS).
Housed at the nation’s leading public university, the center provides students with scholarships and training so they can become environmental problem solvers in science, business, and policy. Our students benefit from hands-on research experience, mentoring by faculty and community partnerships.
