Class of 2021

Hometown: Colorado Springs, CO

Major: Marine Biology


I chose University of New Haven because...

The marine biology program is so hands on. From your very first semester you will already be out by/on the water learning how to collect samples and identify different species. I like to get in the field and UNH definitely provides those opportunities!

What is your favorite place on campus?

In the warm weather it's definitely sitting on the green studying or catching up, I've even had a class move outside to lecture because it was so beautiful! I also love working in the marine biology labs on campus, so if I had a chance you could probably find me there!

What is your favorite class at the University of New Haven?

I LOVED the Animal Behavior, Vertebrate Zoology, and Marine Botany courses! I'm currently taking Environmental Education which is also great, it's hard to decide!
