SNRE is a really unique group of programs and I wanted to be a part of both its legacy of environmental justice and research as well as its affiliation with the renowned institution of the University of Michigan. I made my final decision based on the faculty at SNRE and our shared interests.
I chose to come to SNRE because of the interdisciplinary opportunities it offers. I love that there are so many cross-listed courses with other schools and that we're able to take several electives. I was also very interested in the Masters Project, since it offers hands-on experience with a real client and develops teamwork and organizational skills. Lastly, I was drawn to the SNRE faculty and the diverse backgrounds and experience they offer.
