Undergraduate Research
I entered the Environmental Earth Science major unsure of my career path, but with the help of dedicated faculty, I found an interest in environmental research. Within my first year, I joined a research lab, which led to several awards, conference presentations, and manuscript publications. The specialized coursework and ongoing support within the department helped me pinpoint my career path, and I am confident the skills I have gained will lead to a successful future.
