Environmental Resources Center at Purdue University Fort Wayne Promote understanding and conservation of natural resources thru research, education, and outreach.

Faculty, staff, and students from Purdue University Fort Wayne work together with community partners and sponsors to investigate the natural world, train future environmental leaders, and provide quality outreach materials to a variety of audiences. The ERC provides objective guidance, explores solutions, and works to bridge gaps in mission and communication. We focus on environmental issues with an array of faculty with complementary interests and expertise in natural resources, and encourage opportunities for multidisciplinary collaboration, both on campus and in the community. Dr. Bruce Kingsbury, Professor of Biology at PFW, is the Director of the ERC. He founded the ERC to provide a more direct connection between scientific research and capabilities at PFW and the community at large.
