Welcome to CEES

Welcome to the WKU Center for Environmental Education and Sustainability (CEES). Formerly the Center for Mathematics, Science and Environment Education (CMSEE), we have been in existence at WKU for over 25 years. The Center works with formal and non-formal educators from preK through adult and has become nationally and internationally recognized for many of its programs. The CEES works in partnership with WKU and a broad set of stakeholders to provide resources and leadership to advance environmental education and education for a sustainable future.
