CEES has three core missions: research, education outreach, and environmental stewardship.
The research done at CEES is applied (i.e. it has practical application - it is not strictly theoretical) and focuses on water quality issues.
Education outreach involves bringing STEM activities/environmental education programs (at no charge) to middle school and high school students using the Center’s mobile STEM lab. The Center also does outreach directed towards the general public at fairs and festivals and other events.
Environmental stewardship occurs through the Center’s Service Learning program.
CEES is a grant-funded center. In other words, the main work of the Center is made possible predominantly through grants, donations, and other charitable gifts. University funding is minimal.

Dress for protection against thorns, poison ivy, etc.
Dress for the field - layering provides warmth; can remove layers to prevent over-heating.
Wear clothing that can be easily washed.
Sun protection includes eyes and head, as well as neck, arms, and shoulders.
Proper footwear is very important: keep your feet dry; protect against dangers such as broken glass, sharp metal. Open-toed or open-heeled footwear, such as sandals or flip-flops, is not appropriate; students without appropriate footwear will not be allowed to participate.
Wearing shorts or a skirt is fine, as long as you wear long pants underneath it.
They will make you feel colder.

Misapplication of excessive attention to electronic devices can result in miscalculations and misfortunate mistakes that – with mischievous misadventure – compound miserable mishaps and foment misgivings as relates to missed opportunities to enjoy the miseenscene and other interesting miscellany in the natural world.
