As a major in biology with an Environmental Studies Concentration,my course load was not inundated with strictly bio classes. The concentration allowed me to experience a broad spectrum of courses that Bryn Mawr offers. I was able to explore anthropology, geology, and chemistry. The opportunity to study abroad my junior year in Australia and in the Caribbean was amazing! I was actively engaged in my studies--we spent a lot of time camping.

Without equivocation the best things I learned in the environmental studies concentration were how to conduct independent research and how to present those ideas effectively to my peers. The seminar for environmental studies concentrators was intellectually stimulating and relaxed. More....

I was an Anthropology major with an Environmental Science concentration at Bryn Mawr. I am currently working as a Program Manager in San Fransisco for a non-profit organization called GreenInfo network (www.greeninfo.org). GreenInfo network makes GIS, or Geographic Information systems (computer-based mapping) available to non-profits that couldn't otherwise afford it. Non-profits use GIS to identify geographic relationships, such as locations of critical ecosystems in relation to logging operation sites. I also help manage a national granting program (www.ctsp.org) that makes GIS technical and training grants to conservation groups so they can use stronger science in their advocacy efforts. More----
