KAO is the international honor society in Interdisciplinary Environmental Science/Study under the Interdisciplinary Environmental Association. USM’s zeta chapter, the first in Northern New England, was created in the summer of 2012. Invitation to join KAO is based on academic achievement (as determined by GPA) as an environmental major or minor and community citizenship.

KAO is designed to offer university students working on interdisciplinary environmental issues a hub for networking across disciplines and countries and much-needed recognition for the outstanding interdisciplinary work being performed in this rapidly expanding and much needed academic discipline. The KAO honor society encourages students to enter environmental fields while providing a foundation to support the expansion of environmental research and contacts here and abroad.
