Kathleen originally came to IU for the Environmental and Sustainability Studies program, because it incorporated ecological ideas into sustainability in a way she didn’t see in other university programs. She discovered the Geography department during her freshman year while taking the course Environmental Change: The End of the World as We Know It. After taking more courses, Kathleen realized she felt academically at home in Geography. All of subfields in Geography appealed to her, but she ultimately settled on Development and Justice.
