Leadership

A Word

From Our President

” For 60 years, the vision for DRI has been to be one of the top environmental research institutions in the world. Emerging dialogues questioning the value of science, coupled with the national need to train the next generation of STEM professionals, both point to the need to improve the connection between science and society. We must go further than just being great scientists. As we look ahead to our next 60 years, we’re eager to carry on and expand our legacy, build on our history of scientific excellence and aim to broaden the reach of our science, sharing not only the results of our research but also their significance and impact to our communities. ”
