Aaron FellowsClass of 2016 | DS websiteI am a student of Environmental Studies and Economics at Lewis & Clark College, with a background in design. I am interested in cities as systems and the role of urban amenities in their development. In particular, my thesis research considers the multifaceted role of the urban forest in shaping cities. I am extremely enthusiastic about data and the perspectives contributed by different ways to analyze it. |
Abbey GriscomClass of 2017 | DS websiteI am a third year student at Lewis & Clark studying Rhetoric & Media and minoring in Gender Studies. My studies have centered around how humans rhetorically construct their realities and place social meaning collectively that influence the ways in which we experience the world. I am particularly interested in how people, societies, and cultures understand and construct and place meaning on gender. I enjoy reading, meeting and learning from new people, sharing meals with loved ones, and spending as much time outside in nature. |
Ajna WeaverClass of 2017 | DS websiteMy name is Ajna Weaver. I am in perpetual awe. I am currently a Rhetoric & Media Studies major and Environmental Studies minor at Lewis & Clark College in Portland, OR. Combining these fields, I am interested in exploring the ways people talk (or don’t talk) about the socio-ecological contexts our lives are woven within. My research interests are vast, so please explore my site to see the various projects and courses I have devoted my energy to. No matter what I am exploring, I am passionate about integrating creative expression and artistic, alternative outcomes into my academic work. I am constantly changing and embrace dialogue in that process. Let's converse! |

Alex Groher-JickClass of 2018 | DS websiteHi! I have lived my whole life in a small town outside Boston. I love my parents and my sister very much.

Interests include: playing, making, and listening to music; hiking, tele skiing, climbing and dancing. |

Drew WilliamsonClass of 2017 | DS websiteMy ENVS major has focused on studying various modes of transportation in urban settings and how they relate to our society. Some of my key interests include questions centered on environmental impact, social equity (who has the right to the city?) and personal/urban identity within global and local scales. My research has aimed to create a better understanding of how cities of all shapes and sizes can improve (or detract from) themselves through the development and implementation of transportation infrastructure. |

![]() Emily TucciaroneClass of 2018 | DS websiteAs an Environmental Studies major at Lewis & Clark College, I spent my academic career examining community, outreach, and isolation. With a particular focus on intentional communities and the built, urban environment, I developed an understanding of these large and relevant ideas through various projects, most notably, my thesis. I will move forward from this institution with a passion for how to transgress differences in order to achieve environmental progress through communication. |
Feona RehfussClass of 2019 | DS websiteFrom the sun and into the storm-- I flew to Portland from my home in Maui to ruffle my feathers and earn my colors. As a student at Lewis and Clark College I am studying Environmental Studies and French while on my way towards manifesting a better and brighter future for all. I've always been inspired by the impending storm-- now that I'm here, let's just hope Portland never runs out of rain. |
Frances SwansonClass of 2017 | DS websiteI have had a deep interest in the world of environmental studies for as long as I can remember; environmental activism and policy are particularly intriguing to me.

![]() Georgia ReidClass of 2019 | DS websiteI am a third-year student of Sociology/Anthropology and Environmental Studies at Lewis & Clark College. My scholarly questions are undetermined. Find me and I'll probably be eating some home-cooked gnosh, playing in the out-of-doors world, making music, geckoed onto a rock wall, or deep in thought with a good book in a cozy chair while the rain pitter-patters outside -- because this is Portland, Oregon, of course! |
Hannah SmayClass of 2017 | DS websiteI am graduating from Lewis & Clark College in Portland, Oregon with a BA in English and Environmental Studies.
