UPDATE: We've changed our name!
In the spring of 2025, the Dyson College Institute for Sustainability and the Environment (DCISE) changed its name to more closely reflect its focus and purpose, to the Suburban Biodiversity Conservation Center at Dyson College.
The Conservation Center focuses on:
EDUCATION by providing traditional and nontraditional students with opportunities for training in biodiversity and wildlife conservation to help meet regional environmental challenges.
RESEARCH AND COLLABORATIONS by supporting research in biodiversity, wildlife conservation, environmental policy, environmental justice, and more, in urban and suburban contexts.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT by collaborating with the community to help identify, assess, and communicate issues around environmental conservation and community improvement.

About the Mobile Soil Lab: This lab was created for the scientific laboratory to exist as a public space. The lab seeks to make the concepts, methods, procedures, insights, and applications of science transparent and accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds, particularly people who have been systemically and historically excluded from academic science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM).
