Environmental Studies Program

Sarah is a senior majoring in environmental studies and studio art who enjoys exploring the intersections between the world around us and the ways in which we can express outselves. She strives to remain curious when encountering this world’s uniqueness and aims to learn and share its wonder. On campus, she has a radio show with WBRS, spends time in Zen Zone, and is involved with BCJ. Loving to be in the garden, Sarah works as an environmental education intern at the Lemberg Children’s Center. In her free time, you can find Sarah reading, taking long walks, crafting, biking and getting to know the other beings on this planet. If you have any questions about the major or what courses to take, feel free to reach out!

Originally from Jamaica, NY, Ianna (she/her) is a senior majoring in Computer Science and Environmental Studies. While studying abroad, she completed a directed research project in which she conducted health assessments on corals in the Bocas del Toro archipelago. This experience has prompted her to pursue a career in marine ecology/conservation! In terms of on campus involvement, some of her commitments include serving as one of the leaders for the JBS Christian organization, being a study abroad ambassador, Roosevelt fellow and a TA!

Ianna is eager to hear from you! Please reach out with any inquiries regarding the major, study abroad, graduate school or even items that may not be directly related.

My name is Leo Zhang, a junior majoring in Environmental Studies. I am originally from Xinjiang, China, and I am interested in climate justice, activism, and climate psychology, including climate anxiety and climate grief.

On campus I am the co-founder and co-president of Students for Environmental Action (SEA). You can also find me meditating at Zen Zone, making art with Japanese Student Association and occasionally gardening at Lemberg Children’s Center. Outside of campus I enjoy riding around Cambridge and looking at trees.

Feel free to reach out for advice about the major or getting involved with climate activism.
