Hannah Schandelmeier-Lynch was awarded one of the Coos Bay Surfrider Scholarships for 2016.
Thank you for awarding me with the Surfrider Foundation Scholarship from the Coos Bay Chapter. With this scholarship, I plan to pursue a major in Environmental Studies. This is a popular major at Lewis and Clark College, because it offers a holistic view of environmental sustainability from the perspective of economic, social, and scientific lenses. With this major, I plan on either tailoring my academic path toward a career in either environmental law or social campaign awareness. In addition, I'm considering in either minoring in economics or graphic design-- but, that's still up in the air. I'm excited to learn more about environmental issues and effective forms of activism. Along with my academic commitments, I also plan on joining environmentally conscious clubs, like Students Engage Eco Defense (SEED), that focus on teaching and contributing to local resource management.
