Congratulations to Eric Medina, CSP class of 2026! Eric is part of a new cohort of environmental leaders chosen as the 2025 recipients of the Switzer Environmental Fellowship.
The competitive fellowships are awarded based on leadership potential and commitment to environmental problem-solving. Switzer Fellows demonstrate innovation and collaboration, as well as commitment to advance social equity as a fundamental part of their environmental work. Switzer Fellows receive support throughout their careers to cultivate their personal leadership skills and expand their networks, positioning them for leadership in the nonprofit, government, philanthropic, academic, and private sectors.
Eric Medina studies how coastal wetland restoration can improve habitat, protect urban spaces, and increase access to green space. He is excited about the opportunities climate adaptation presents for envisioning futures that prioritize both the ecological systems California’s cities rely on and the daily quality of life for people.
