The Story of How eERL Came To Be

eERL's mission is to be the best possible online collection of environmental and energy sustainability resources for community college educators and for their students. The resources are also available for practitioners and the public.

Our newest online release is a final report on the grant from NSF and NSDL that helped to create eERL. Have a look at all that went on behind the scenes to produce eERL at Final Report.

eERL and ATEEC

eERL is a product of a community college-based National Science Foundation Center, the Advanced Technology Environmental and Energy Center (ATEEC), and its partners. Community Colleges enroll 10.4 million students annually in college transfer and workforce preparation credit and noncredit programs.
