Student Reflections

"Volunteering was engaging and fun every time I went. I got to enjoy experiences I had never done before, and interacting with different people of different ages and backgrounds expanded my perspectives."

Ivan Wong, class of 2028

"I really liked being able to see members of the community that I'm now in since I'm away from home. It was really gratifying to physically make a difference and be able to interact face-to-face with kids and implement the knowledge of the climate crisis and communication that we gained in class."

Leoni Sayat, class of 2028

"I learned so much about science communication and how to teach kids about harder topics as well. Having to do so much in depth research on such a specific topic forced me to become an 'expert.' But simply knowing the information and being able to teach it to kids was a whole other battle that we had to deal with. Ultimately, I really enjoyed how everything went hand in hand with each other (lectures, to volunteering, to the research project) and the importance of climate rhetoric was heavily emphasized."
