Castle: Amelia Rey

My name is Amelia, and yes it rhymes with Bedelia. I was born and raised in Bogota but have nomadic tendencies as I have moved 15 times since 1989! I am a sophomore this year and I am in the process of majoring in HSSP with a minor in PAX and a splattering of fine art classes. I really like chocolate, cooking, crunchy autumn leaves, chameleons, contour drawing, castles and alliteration. I am hoping we can all get on board with living in a more sustainable way but most importantly, I hope we can understand why altering our lifestyles is essential to accomplish this. This is perhaps the single most important issue our generation will deal with collectively and it is very excited for me to be a part of that, starting now! If you ever want to talk sustainability- please come say hello!

Mods: Bruce Strong

 Hi there! Bruce is my name and sustainability is my game. I’m originally from the Philadelphia area, but now I attend Brandeis as an economics major while minoring in business. It’s important to get people excited about all the great ways to help the environment. As an eco-rep, I hope to get students thinking green with some creative programming. The future of Brandeis, no, the entire world depends on it! Let’s be sustainable!
