Why did you decide on Allegheny?

What I liked about Allegheny was the campus setup and the friendly people.

How did you go about choosing your major?

I have always been interested in conservation and the different environmental issues, so what better major than environmental science. In environmental science we get to learn about all the oppressing issues that are at hand ranging from local environmental issues to more global ones, such as virtual water.

What do you plan to do after you graduate from Allegheny?

As of right now, after Allegheny I plan on going to med-school to get a degree pathology.

How has being on a successful track and/or cross country team helped you with school?

Since being in track and cross country involves a lot of time it has helped me with my time management and placed me into a daily routine, which makes it easier to schedule time to do things.

What unique opportunities have you had through attending Allegheny (internships, research, etc...)?

Right now in my environmental science FS we are collaborating with three other classes on a group research project. Working with a Geology class, Communication Arts class, and Political Science class we will come up with a research project pertaining to water and eventually present our findings at the end of the semester.
