环境科学/社会学

“I chose to double major in environmental science and sociology with a sustainability track because I’ve always been curious why people do the things they do. My career aspirations are to make a positive impact and help solve global environmental problems. I hope to bring justice and sustainability to the built/natural environment and community to ensure future generations can live and flourish on this planet.

“挑战我的一个有缺陷的成员是我的社会学教授. 亚伦Routhe. 他让我明白，失败不能定义我是谁, 你总能向他们学习并取得成功. I believe this makes me feel prepared for a career because it has strengthened my confidence and self-discipline to always try my best and never give up.

“总的来说, Carroll’s positive learning atmosphere has allowed me to successfully identify my strengths and weaknesses to face and overcome academic and personal challenges in my life. The education based in the liberal arts makes me feel prepared for my future by instilling my passion for knowledge and learning. It has helped me see the beauty of curiosity and asking questions to gain a deeper understanding of the world and my human experience.”
