Former EPA Deputy Administrator Janet McCabe is returning to Indiana University for a one-year appointment that will include climate work.
Starting in July, she will hold several different positions, serving as a visiting professor at the Paul H. O’Neill School of Public and Environmental Affairs while also working as a senior policy adviser at the university’s Environmental Resilience Institute. There, she will advance a relaunch of the Indiana Climate Change Impacts Assessment, according to a Wednesday news release from the school, based in Bloomington, Indiana.
“Janet is a bridge builder who understands how to bring people together to address environmental threats and improve the health and safety of communities,” said Gabe Filippelli, the institute’s executive director, in the release. “The institute is thrilled to welcome Janet back to IU as we expand efforts to assist Hoosier communities with their climate goals.”
Also included in McCabe’s portfolio will be a role as distinguished scholar at the university’s law school.
