We were fortunate enough today to listen to a presentation from Vanessa; who just finished her PHD. She graduated from CSUCI with a bachelors in Environmental Science and Resource Management.
Vanessa talks about how the unique program at CSUCI set her up for success In her career to come. Many of the things she learned while earning her Bachelors stayed with her for her entire career, such as GIS mapping.
Ready for NOLA 2023!
I’m thinking about New Orleans and I am full curiosity, and excitement. My bag is tightly packed and ready to go. I always get the feeling I’m forgetting something, but I don’t think I could squeeze anything else in if I tried. I’ve spent weeks thinking about this trip, I really think it will be a trip I remember for the rest of my life. Not only am I going to do work that I am passionate about with my fantastic classmates and mentors, but I will be going to a place with some of the richest culture and history in the world. I am very grateful for this opportunity that I’ve been given. This will give me hands on learning experience that will be useful especially in my future in Environmental Science. I am excited at the people I am going to meet, and the connections that we will create. I plan on working hard and giving my full effort to the work we will be doing on this trip. I know that it will probably be hard work. I want to to follow in the footsteps of my mentors who have been working with the people in New Orleans for years now. I will have nothing but love and respect for the people, wildlife, and everything else in New Orleans.
