General Notes

The Environmental Science (EVS) major is one of the few interdisciplinary programs at UT-Austin, integrating the principles of biology, geography, and geology to give students a holistic, broad perspective of some of the world’s most pressing environmental and sustainability issues. The EVS Academic Advising Coordinator position reports directly to the Director of Student Affairs in the Jackson School of Geosciences Student Affairs Office, and is responsible for academically advising students across all three EVS concentrations, including students in the EVS-Geographical Sciences major in the College of Liberal Arts as well as those in the EVS-Biology major in the College of Natural Sciences.

It includes participating in professional conferences and individual professional development, serving on committees, making oral and written presentations and effectively representing the School.
