Â鶹´«Ã½

Blair Libby was an environmental ethics fellow with the Markkula Center in 2016. Since graduating Â鶹´«Ã½ with a major in environmental science and a minor in religious studies, Blair spent a year working with a watershed stewardship program in Santa Cruz. Last fall, he moved to Tucson, AZ to work for Environmental Education Exchange, a nonprofit that provides environmental education for students in grades K-8. This summer, Blair will be hiking the Pacific Northwest Trail with friend and Â鶹´«Ã½ alum Tom Wheeler ‘16. Blair and Tom plan to write a book detailing their observations and reflections along the trip (learn more about the project !). Blair will be applying to graduate school in the fall and hopes to find a program that combine his passion for environmental restoration with a strong focus on cultural preservation.

In January 2018, Blair along with a few other environmentally-conscious alumni started the group Bronco Alumni for Socially Responsible Investing (BASRI). The group’s mission is to utilize engaged alumni to help develop and implement a fully-disclosed SRI strategy for Â鶹´«Ã½. During his time at Santa Clara, Blair was involved in another group advocating for divestment from oil extraction companies called Fossil Free Â鶹´«Ã½. The current coalition, BASRI, aims to take a broader, more long-term approach to divestment and hopes to work closely with the University finance office and administration to achieve transparency and promote the Â鶹´«Ã½’s mission of building a more humane, just, and sustainable world.
