Year in Review

The highlight of my time in ENR has been the people that I have met along the way. I have met some of the most amazing people through this scholars program. Another highlight of my time in ENR was all of the fun and meaningful events that I got to go to because of the program. I have learned many things from being apart of the program. These things ranged from simple skills such as archery and leading a hike to important facts such as information about recycling and sustainability.

This program has increased my awareness of environmental problems and solutions. I have learned how to properly recycle and compost. I also have switched to reusable bags whenever I go shopping and if I forget a bag, I’ll often just carry whatever I buy. I have also become more confident in having conversations with my peers and family about the environmental issues that the current world faces. I also have for the past two years cleaned the river twice a year and plan on continuing this for as long as I can. I plan to continue to recycle when I’m off campus. I also plan on using the heating and cooling system in my house only a little in order to be more environmentally friendly.

My advice to future ENR scholars is to make the most out of the program. Go to as many events as you can. Meet as many people as you can. Listen and participate in class discussions. Learn as much as you can about not only the things you like but those that you do not. The two years in the program go faster than you can even imagine on your first day, so make sure you don’t take any second of it for granted. Choosing ENR scholars was one of the best decisions that I made when coming to college.
