Mitchell Center, extended far beyond the constructs of her discipline and far beyond the boundaries of the university. A research fellow on SSI’s Knowledge-to-Action team, her work focused on building more resilient partnerships between stakeholders – such as communities or non-governmental entities – and universities. She looked at the influence of and potential improvements in communications that could in turn enhance the chance of successful sustainability collaborations. McGreavy has accepted a postdoctoral fellowship with the New England Sustainability Consortium (NEST). Led by UMaine’s Mitchell Center and the University of New Hampshire, NEST is a regional research partnership focused on strengthening the scientific basis for decision-making in the management of coastal systems.
