Since Public Interest Network Grants were established in September 2007 by Prof. Burleson's 3 hour swim across the Missouri River, PIN's ongoing work includes facilitating peer and faculty feedback on public interest work; apple picking to provide fresh produce to the poor; helping draft Climate and energy laws; and working with such organizations as Dakota Plains Legal Services. Symposium topics include international climate change proceedings, tribal wind energy, and sustainable development.
